Design That Works!Archive for prattville
Cutsie + Pie = Fun
This is a logo project put on by the company I work for The LogoLoft. We had to makeup a company and then draw a character and vectorize it. This is what I came up with 
My Sketch
simple vector outline
With company name and lots of gradient and shading
simple flat design for more variety in final materials
News!!
I know it has been a while, I have been quite busy!!! After starting at Michael’s as the Floral Designer, I have hardly had time to blog. So what’s been goin’ on?
I have been working on re-inventorying the local Michael’s with new arrangements. I think I have gotten up to 2 arrangements an hour where it was taking me an hour and a half before. It really helps knowing where things are and what I can and can not do. I have steadily been taking pics too, which I will start uploading on a seperate page called “Floral Design”.
I have also been working on some fine art pieces that I will be entering into several local art shows coming up soon. One of which, the Regions Bank show, I have already entered and was able to get one piece in. The others will be the Riverfront show and the Prattauga show. I was really surprised I got in, seeing as how my work was a little bit more modern than what is typically shown. So I am so siked!
This past weekend I went to a good friends 30th bday party. It was pretty great. I drank ALOT and danced ALOT and well…lets just say acted as nutty as possible and can only recall bits and pieces. 
BUT, great party non the less. I bought my friend this shirt http://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/detail/3813 and this set of earrings http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27850594.
My birthday celebrations are coming up as well and I am thinking about doing a year long art project to mark the year It has been done by other artists, but I liked the thought of making myself do the work and at the end of my 30th year I will have aprox 365 artworks….IF I do it!! lol Which I CAN do it, it doesn’t take me long to make something, it’s just finding the time and making myself.
New fav shows: Tudors, Trueblood, LOST

Random Photo Post #2
circa 1997, my senior year of high school. This is basically my lunch routine everyday…that young handsome fella is Mr. Chris Petrin, a fellow arteest. My lunch period was also during my A.P. Art class. You can see my typical delicious wholesome lunch of…yes folks…mouth watering nip chee crackers and a vitamin packed original coca-cola! Check out that bright and awe fully tacky shirt! ;P

Random Photo Post #1
Me at age 3-4
I have decided to post random photos that I have lying around and need to put in a photo album….The first of many, this is me at aprox age 3-4 at my family home in Wetumka or Prattville (we moved to Prattville during this age). The cat was one of the family pets, I can’t recall the name. I think she later had kittens in my doll bed. I of course, probably toted them around unmercifully. And just think…today I have horrible allergies around them. I look to be filling up containers of water….for what? I have no clue. I would say I was helping mom water plants (because of the watering can), but I would’ve had to walk in grass to get to the plants…so thats a no go. But apparently too hot to be clothed. NICE!
