KIELBASA! <3

And, to follow a completely random title, I would like to say a few things. First, I love thesauruses, even when the don't show me what I want to see: A really long, delicious word for something simple like "random." Secondly, I found a very interesting, very slightly depressing site. I found it through a fun (if not tacky) little newspaper site for teenagers, and really it's quite mesmerizing. Check it out, takes only a few seconds:

As you will see, this site shows an eyeopening craziness: numbers of people dying, marrying, divorcing, being injured, getting cancer, HIV, abortions and so on. The amount of oil being pumped. The earths temperature. Of course, no one can really know what the real numbers are, but these are based on past stats and estimates. You can also choose whether you would like to see life trickle by in a yearly, monthly, daily, or nowly fashion...

Crazy?

Uh huh.

Well, Auf Wiedersehen, for now.
(My translator says that means "good-bye" in German. Those silly Germans.)

there's virtual paint on my fingers

hi there! ciao! i've been up to some things that i rather like, and felt like showing them off to whoever might see this. : ) also, i found a very cool place that you can find here: www.bittbox.com. here there are quite a few PS brushes and AI vectors that are free-for-personal-as well as-commercial use... so cool. the bitt-dude also posts recommendations to font sites and design sites and, well it's a nice website.

there, i found high-res watercolor brushes that look just like paint. i am in raptures over them and so you might see alot of paint for a while... : )

here is a flyer i made for la leche league of greater athens...



also, a flyer for the band, caughtoffguard...



and my favorite page of a signature book...but of course, this is mostly the loveliness of the picture (courtesty of sara wise photography), brushes (courtesty of bittbox), and actions (courtesty of gary fong) that make it pretty. : )




...ciao...

'oh! what a novel idea!' cried catherine.

hello there, to anyone who may miraculously be reading this bit of guilty chicken scratch. i was working on a project for tina howard and while waiting for an email, i thought to myself 'well, i shall make a blog, yes i shall!' and so i did.
