Hey everyone,
I've been working my butt off the last few weeks to get my website up before Directions (A huge portfolio review by professionals, where some people can gt hired or job offers, etc.) so I can put the web address on my business cards and mailers and what not, and it's finally done!!
http://www.jackierisk.com For those of you who are wondering why my name on the site isn't Jackie Tracey, it's because I'm getting married pretty soon and figured it would be easier to be known by my married name from the get go, plus Risk is a little shorter than Tracey :D
Anyhoo, I'd love to get some opinions on the look of the site and the actual content as well. I know Mao thinks my Bio/ Contact picture looks scary, but I like it! I think it captures my slightly horrifying essence.
In other news, the school year is winding down and I'm pretty excited. A year ago I was really scared because I didn't know where my style was or where I wanted to go, I feel alot more secure with myself as an artist and where I want to be in the world. I'm feeling an odd feeling of calm now, which is strange considering now is the time when the heat should really be coming. I don't know if its senioritis and my laziness is overriding my sense of worry, or I'm actually doing well.
Also with the end of this semester is the end and beginning of things. The end of college life, the end of single life, the end of a few friendships, or at least a distancing of friends. But along with all those comes the promise of a new life, being married, trying to get a real career in the real world, meeting new people and making new friends, seeing a new country (if all goes well).
Matt will learn if he got accepted into JET soon, and I'm very excited for him, for his sake I hope he gets in. It will be an awesome opportunity in his learning of the language and culture, and added bonus- I get to stay in Japan with him! I'm sending you my prayers love, best of luck!
To all my true friends, Sarah especially, I'm going to miss you all terribly and even though I really want to go to a new country to experience a new culture, and a new cuisine >) I'm gonna miss all the friends I made along the way. Take care of yourselves folks, you'll be in my thoughts.
I'm gonna miss DnD, I'm such a nerd! XD I'm gonna miss cons with friends, I'm gonna miss the good and bad movies and shows we watched. It's going to be a bittersweet summer, I can tell you that.
Anyway, this has become a pretty long, and kinda deep post so I think I'll leave it at that.
Don't forget to comment on my site- constructive criticism only pleaseI seriously need it, that's why its here and not on devart where everyone says "WOW, cool" or "That sucks." Thanks everyone! <333 Lotsa love!
