free stuff – 2012 Calendar Giveaway!

I love technology… but when it comes to keeping my life and deadlines in order I always go analog. There is something about being able to hand write quick TO-DOs and scribble random ideas down.

I have an extra Rhodia 2012 Large weekly planner I would love to give away to someone that is wanting to keep their life analog in 2012. All you got to do is leave a comment and let me know what your biggest accomplishment in 2011 was.

I’ll pick a “winner” before Christmas and ship it your way so you can start the new year off right!

Love this version of the classic apple ad, voiced over by the man himself Steve Jobs. I think the internet stood still with the news of his death yesterday. R.I.P. Steve. Getting one of your Mac Classics back in the 90′s sparked my interested in digital art.

Pretty sure this is time constraint most clients are on. They have had an idea brewing in their head for months.. they expect you have been sitting around waiting for their call/email ready to jump on the project “now”… luckily I have some amazing clients! and this is just a rant for what I have noticed over the past six years of this freelance game.

Zombies and the Japan quake what can you do?

Jared — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 03:30:04 +0000

I saw found this comic while surfing a blog today.. Made me think of the recent tragedy in Japan. Now days its so easy to look like you are “doing” something about an issue… But creating a facebook page won’t solve the issues that are happening.

Are you blogging about the zombie attack? or you strapping on a double barrel and chainsaw to DO something about it?
