Drained

Lots of things are changing in my life right now. I can't tell where it's all going. My allergies have been making me miserable for the past couple of weeks. Bad enough I feel physically tired from not being able to breathe very well. I have also been emotionally stressed out over work, relationships, moving, and freelance work. Luckily my family was around and I got to spend a lot of great time with them. Hopefully, things will stabilize once the move is complete. I am still anxious to find out what the status is on the freelance work.

Here is a test render I did last night (just using final gather nothing fancy). I have brought my Mac Book to a couple of different coffee shops the past few days (one of the perks of getting a laptop. It's been nice to finally put some real time into a project. My portfolio hasn't been updated since college really. And now that I have over 6 years of experience, I certainly can create nicer pieces.

Sick as Hell

I got back last night. I went to bed and had the chills. I woke up several times during the night from dreams of being lost in Millennium Park. But it was a weird sort of nightmarish contortion. The park would constantly shift around on giant concrete slabs like plate tectonics. I could always see where I was trying to get to, but could never reach it because of the constant rearrangement of the park. Anyway, it was all induced from my stomach cramps and pounding headache. I am finally feeling slightly better.

On the plane, I had some time to draw. So, I roughed out what I thought the inside of my logo's head will look like.

I sat next to a little old Spanish lady on the flight home. As the plane neared Orlando, the woman tapped me on the shoulder and told me how much she'd loved my drawings. She said that she had always hoped that one of her sons would be an artist. It was really unexpected. Its great to hear some input from someone who is so outside my circle.
