Over the past several months my Mac (iMac G5) has been acting up. Programs began to crash and load / close very slowly, opening or saving a large file could take up to 3 minutes, the fan would be working overtime, the external firewire drive would drag (and I do mean drag). As time went on, my keyboard wouldn't be recognized on boot-up and I'd have to unplug/plug it back in every time (I blamed the Microsh*t keyboard). Then last Friday the damn thing booted all the way to the desktop then it...

For me, graphics is a love/hate relationship. First off, I love doing graphics - trying to be creative and seeing the final project come out a success (most of the time) is what I live for. What I Hate are the clients. Early on when I didn't have the luxury of picking and choosing projects, I would agree to people sitting behind me while I worked and nit-picking over the tiniest pixel, or took on work that I knew was going to suck.

I'll kick off with the country singer that needed...

The Calendar is finally finished ... well, at least my part. It's been shipped off to the printers and now that the ball's out of my court I can get to work on all the stuff I've put on the back burner. Ugh.
I've attached the cover, back cover sans QuarkXpress info which would be at the bottom, and one of the month pages ... the bottom half. These are all girls that work at the clubs - not professional models.
I hope the printed calendar doesn't turn out blue-ish this time.

It's that time of year again, time to organize the 2008 calendar. You've seen those calendars, a little bigger than legal paper (unopened), they hang in mens locker rooms and gas stations? The ones with the bikini babes? The ones that have the babe on the top half and the calendar really small on the bottom half with few more photos crammed in? A new bunch of babes for guys to drool over every month? Yeah, that's what I'm doing. Every year it's rush-rush. So I'm rush-rushing so I don't...

I work from home for many reasons, one reason was to get out of "The Meeting".
"The Meeting" is about 20 miles one way so it's inconvenient, time consuming and really unnecessary. I think sometimes that people working in an office environment like to have meetings to kill time or have an excuse to delay some menial task. I don't like meetings because frankly, I don't like having to put on a 'game face' and 'laugh on cue' for some clearly un-funny comment made by someone...
