uke!

so i have been trying this thing lately in my life where if there is something i want to do i just do it instead of always talking myself out of it.

one of the things that came up lately was learning an instrument. i have never played music but its been something i always regretted. so i went out the other day and bought myself a ukulele. its not the nicest one but will suffice for learning.

i was partially inspired to do this by hellogoodbye who recently released a three sond demo ep titled "the ukulele recordings"



im glad i decided to just do this. and maybe with enough practice i will get pretty good at playing this really cute instrument!

back in the us

getting away was nice.
i think that was the most amazing trip i will ever have in my life.

but now its back to reality, i have a lot of work to get done.
first up, my portfolio. i am refining my guidebook from fall semester junior year.
im keeping the images but giving them some breathing room and getting rid of my typographic soup. yey for Akzidenz Grotesk! but theres still so much to do.

tomorrow its on to my magazine spreads which have always given me trouble. but i finally like the direction they are headed. ill be doing some water colors and scanning and fixing rags!
