It's pouring

Like I mentioned before, I have a ton of freelance work at the moment. I can tell my brain is reaching a critical point because I woke up at 2 am last night fretting about deadlines and the looming specter of designer's block. So much to do, so little time. Design under pressure! That means I need take a page out of Emeril's book and kick it up a notch. Its harder now that I'm working at home. There are an insane amount of distractions including, but not limited to: dogs that need to go out, phones that ring, emails that arrive, and tasty snacks that sing their sweet sirens' songs from the depths of the 'fridge.

But none of that matters. It's time to focus. Get serious. It's time to make to-do lists and phone calls, create bid requests and scans and comps and invoices and timelines. I need to feel the periodic high of accomplishment in order to keep motivated. And that means . . . well . . . I need to accomplish something.

As of this week I do have one poster and brochure behind me, so that helps a bit. I'm actually pretty happy with the way the poster turned out. Being pleased with my work is sort of a rare thing, unfortunately. I'm my own worst critic.


I hope we can actually make it to this event next week. It sounds like fun, and I always enjoy visiting the chickens at the history park. They are of the old-school fancy and fluffy variety. Who doesn't love a heritage chicken?
