Christmas Came Early

So, right before Thanksgiving I purchased my very first Mac...and let's just say that I'm a convert. I have finally left the dark side. Goodbye Bill Gates, hello Steve Jobs, you're my new best friend! I now own 20inches of pure beauty! You would never know how much of a computer geek I was if you meet me for the first time. But I am! I am totally in love with my new iMac complete with Adobe CS2! Here's some photos of me with my new baby:Also, Window's new operating system Vista will be on sale to the public soon. Microsoft has yet again copied Apple. Watch this totally sarcastic video by the New York Times about Micrsoft's copying skills:

10 Days Til Christmas!

Only 10 more days until Christmas! And I'm up late finishing up all my cards, folding newsletters, inserting photos and licking them shut. They should be out the door tomorrow...or today, actually! I only have a couple more projects to finish up before Christmas comes. Everything else is wrapped and under the tree. I hope you're having a great holiday season so far! Here's an ornament I made earlier this month. It was going to be for an ornament exchange, but I liked it too much to give it away, so I decided to keep it for my own future tree.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey, everyone! I just wanted to say happy Thanksgiving! I hope you has a great one. I just wanted to let all of you know how thankful I am for you! Especially my family. I wanted to share a photo, so here is one of my little brother, Josh and I at Hannah's wedding rehearsal this past August. I hope everyone has a great day, and don't over eat!

Success at the Art Show

Last Friday was the Annual Design and Portfolio Review at my college. And I'm so excited to say that over half of my seven pieces were awarded. Including TWO FIRST PLACES out of the eight they gave out at the show. God has really blessed me and given me favor at school and I was so excited and surprised to have won so many awards. I was also asked to join the Art Directors Club of Denver because I recieved a first place award. Besides my parents being there, my good friends Hannah and Brendan came to the show. Afterward, we all enjoyed a great, late dinner at Olive Garden. Here are some photos from the night including photographs of my seven pieces which were:

Ski Challenge Ad Campaign

So, I took the day off school today. If you hadn't heard, we had quite a bit of snow here in Colorado today. It was nice to not have to go anywhere. I wanted to share my last school project. I really wanted to do something related to skiing...I don't know why, but I thought it would be fun to do something out of my norm. Let me know what you think!! {Click on photos to see larger}
