Yarn and Ink

So, it's my for reals last quarter here at SCAD (sniff) and I just starting to realize that 3 years here just isn't enough. That goes for school, as well as the city itself. Savannah, I am going to miss you...

Just got back to school from Atlanta, where I spent spring break with Dave and my family, getting wedding stuff done. Things are moving along (finally!) with wedding preparations, and I'm stoked. We're at 80 days and counting, friends! Oh, and Dave, happy two years, love! Two years ago today, he worked up his courage, and uttered those 5 words men find so terrifying: "will you be my girlfriend?" Also, today was the day, during the third age in Middle Earth (year 3019), that the One Ring was destroyed. So, there you go.

Anyways, this was supposed to be about what's going on with me "art"-wise, not to reveal that I am, in fact, a gigantic nerd. So, here it is:

I got the Working Class Studio internship!!! (crowd roars)

Our first meeting was on Monday, and we've been assigned our first project. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to post anything from that class, because of confidentiality agreements, blah blah blah...but I am making the effort to start working on my own personal stuff again, so I'll try to update with that. Not to mention, I'm behind updating the rest of the work I did last quarter, so will try to get that up soon.

Also, I am being considered for a couple of internships once I've graduated (9 weeks, whoo hoo!!) and one of them is with Carter's in Atlanta. They make baby gear, and I spoke with the recruiter at the Career Fair back in February, and they had me do some character and pattern design for them, I guess to see if I can work with their style and demographic. Should be hearing back from them soon, so I will post the results once I am informed.

Working on a piece for the All Creatures Great and Small show at the 180 building, which opens on April 17th. I'm just hoping I can bust it out this weekend before things get crazy with Working Class.

Well, this "quick" update is getting super long, so I'm gonna jet.
