Okay, I've been on summer "break" for a while, but I have been really busy with stuff. So, I am taking some time off to update.

Spring semester was pretty good. Art-wise, I designed Big Straw (Asian-American interests magazine) again, and I was graphics chair for One Night in Beijing again. I also became the de facto designer for Linguistics Club.

I got another Daily Deviation for my stock:


I applied to be graphics/marketing for Ballroom Dance Club, and they continue activity during the summer, so I already got to design one poster for them.

I'm juggling two part-time internships at two nonprofits, Smart Futures LLC and Manchester Craftsmen's Guild. I do design work (web and print) and social media stuff for both of them. I might talk more about them later. The summation of both these jobs means that I am basically working full time, which leaves me very little time to have fun.

I haven't drawn seriously since ~blorbx's birthday, I think. Hopefully that will change. I don't know though... when I get home from work all I want to do is relax, do chores, or play games. I need some inspiration, otherwise it will feel like an obligation.

As you might have noticed, I have been taking a lot of photos recently. I also started uploading a backlog of photos that extended to January. I'm mostly caught up now and in the process of uploading photos that I took two weeks ago. Hurray!


Oh yeah, *lightrae asked me to design an avatar for him. I did, and even though I didn't ask for payment, he rewarded me with a subscription. Which is how I have this snazzy journal skin! Woohoo! It is modified from one that ¢mindfuckx just posted today. I'm also excited for the debut of Groups on deviantART because then that means I don't have to spend as much time minding my clubs! I moderate five, you know.

Well, that's all for now... Can you believe I used to write one journal a month here? Ha! That is an occurrence of the past for sure. My last journal was in February. I hope everyone is enjoying their summers. Happy early Father's Day and Summer Solstice!
