I went on the most beautiful train ride today. I woke up in the morning to the sound of my lover ringing me from a tea party town, I'm happy he is off adventuring to distant lands...
and speaking of all the heat... I realized how completely miserable portland is when its so hot it makes me want to poke my eyes out. That is when i called my mom and coerced her to get me a train ticket to come visit. I haven't seen my mom or sister for 6 months and it feels so great to be home. home cooked meals, air conditioner, perscription allergy meds for free, and aa little bit cooler cause i'm at a higher altitude up north. it will make getting work done much easier i thinky! I went to stumptown before i left on the train, and drank delicious coffee and for some reason i had 4 people aask me if the wifi was working. I guess with my glasses on they all assume I know what's going on. I was then commissioned by sara to fix the wifi, and I tried, thinking i was the coolest dork ever, and then I failed. i couldn't fix it. damn it, i thought i was a super dork, but i guess i'm just back to novice dork status.
oh well it was a very good day. it does feel good to get out of town. it feels even better to be self employeed once again. i feel like i have my life back! I came up with all of these really amazing design tactics of combiningi photoshopo and illustrator skills. I have been looking over aa lot of art books ont he subject and have been getting very inspired. everytime i look at really good artwork, it reminds of me of how when I don't look at artwork and I design, that all my designs are very 2-dimensional. If i look at artwork and get inspired, my artwork begins to have more depth, more meaning, and just functionality wise makes more sense.
the worst part of learning amazing new things? I just want to re-design everything. I am my own worst client.
i am now currently punching myself in the face and making out with myself in the mirror....
