Instead of being good and studying for the Human Behavior test this Friday, bluekitsune and I spent Saturday afternoon getting me plastered. Work on the custom dressform has finally begun.

As I was explaining to a classmate this morning, I have something of a coat fetish. My girlfriends are no help---they usually point out "Jeaner coats" and then I buy them. I haven't bought a coat in a long time though. Moving South may have had something to do with it, but the lack of income probably has more to do with it. Hmm. I guess that could ( Read more... )

An amateur operatic society in the UK wants to use some of my Yeomen publicity for their production. I'm not asking to be paid (and they're certainly not offering), but I want the chance to pull out if I don't like their final layout, "programme" credit, and free copies of anything that features my work.
We're still hammering out the details, but ( Read more... )

Pumpkin carving birthday party tonight, hosted by the super-crafty birthday girl, bluekitsune. Her place looked amazing, adorned with pumpkins, mod podge lanterns, and orange and black balloons. There were snacks and vegetarian Sloppy Joes, but the food highlight was the sugar-filled ending: a Coldstone creamery cake and aubades_etc's tasty Indian pudding. Yum.

(And no, I'm not interested in doing Sorcerer publicity, as much as I like graphic design ( Read more... )

Tonight was opening night of "The Threepenny Opera," and for the first time ever, I will not be able to see a single performance of a show I designed for. That makes me sad.
Most of my summer was spent designing 3p publicity. That was not what I had intended, but perfection takes time. While I am proud of the work I have done, I am annoyed with ( Read more... )

The money now looks like money and the thong straps have been smoothed out.

After much prodding on Ky's part and much procrastination on mine, I have finally finished the show graphic for Threepenny.
( This may be my best work yet. )

Cadaver Ball pictures are up! I didn't bring my own camera, so I've had to beg a few from friends. I hope to acquire more soon.
I'm quite happy with the way my dress turned out. The draping looks pretty good at most angles, and the fabric roses don't look ridiculous. I wish I had a full length shot of the dress, but these pictures (and a memory of ( Read more... )
