Posted on: January 4th, 2010 1of52.com – 1 year of awesome

I had the idea yesterday to start a personal project… One poster each week on a different subject giving a total of 52 posters at the end of the year. I told my designer bud Matt about it and he wanted in. So last night we brainstormed, thought it would be great to open it up to whoever wanted to be a part. Each week a different subject will be givin.. and possible wildcard (must use this color.. or one color.. must have hand made element) We have already had some signup. I think its going to be a great support for each other to be able to keep up to the task.

Are you 1of52?

Posted on: January 1st, 2010 Never stop working

It’s Almost been a full year of being on my own… I quit my old job last January to pursue freelancing. I can’t even count the amount of days I have stayed up till daylight broke.. all for the rush of meeting the deadline.. It’s 2:30 as I type now… and this is the third day in the row I have sat in front of my computer all day. I know my wife is soooo excited about that.

I’ve got a fever and the only cure is perfect kerning.

O no.. it’s turning into another one of those “designers new years resolution” posts.. I give you full authority to leave now.. I’m just thinking out loud… with my fingers..? All joking aside.. I love my “job” ( I gave it quotes because it does not feel like a job). In the Past I’ve done everything, from working as a stock boy at a Super Target, cashier at Chick-fil-a, shampooing and sweeping floors while trying to get my hair stylist license.. to calling “all skate” and rocking 80’s music as the DJ of a skating rink, and being a project manager of a furniture company. But freelancing is the only Job I have loved… I mean I can’t stop thinking about it, everything thing I see I’m thinking of a project I could use it on.. or I search around design blogs and magazines just because it excites me. I’ve got a fever and the only cure is perfect kerning.

I’m hoping the year 2010 brings great things. I feel I have grown a lot in the past year, met so many amazing people and been able to work on a lot of cool projects… And I still can’t believe I get paid doing it!
