Oh! You Pretty Things (original) (raw)

Maybe.

So I figured I might be do for an actual update. About my life. So I went through and looked at the last few entries I've made, and the only one talking about anything mildly meaningful was me being angsty about the future, and how I felt like I was on the verge of a major life change.

Indeed I was going (and am going through) a major life change! Within the past week, I was accepted into Junctionview Studios where I will be sharing an art studio with Tom! This is huge for me! It was something I thought I really had to work for, and might achieve a few years after graduation. I know the waiting list for studio space is long, so to be called in for interviews was really amazing.

Tom and I started moving in yesterday, and by the end of the week I should be practically living there (not actually, we're not allowed to sleep there).

What does this mean for me? It means I have no more excuses! I have a place to work, a large place to work. I can be surrounded by incredibly talented people and hopefully some of their talent will rub off on me. I am part of the indie art scene in Columbus now! I'll be participating in more shows, I'll be learning (Tom and I plan on starting screen printing soon), and I'll be getting myself out there.

NGGGH! I'M SO HAPPY!

There are other things to be happy for as well. Work is going really great. Currently I am the only person in our marketing department! The other graphic design intern moved after graduation, and they still haven't found a replacement marketing director. So I've moved into the nice comfy L-shaped desk. Yes, I have the corner office with a view. Two monitors. Tons of time to work. I love my job right now!

I'm also involving myself in more things around town. I've gone to a few events at Wild Goose Creative and this past weekend participated in Bacon Camp, where I made my Maple Bacon Cupcakes. I'm also in the process of designing an advertisement for an upcoming event at Wild Goose!

You know, looking back on this post, I'm doing pretty darn good. Not bad at all for someone who doesn't have their college degree yet! Suck it, naysayers!
