R.I.P. Blogger

So I haven't posted anything in awhile. That would be because I have moved blog homes. I'm not using tumblr. It fits my blog needs much more then Blogger. It's structure is similar to Twitter. It's based more on mini posts that can consist of text, photos, videos, audio, and quotes. A major plus is that tumblr released an iPhone app. I can make a blog post from my phone whenever I see a cool photo or just have something i would like to share.

Blogger has served me well, but I'm not much of a writer, or that great of one rather. So I'll probably be deleting this blog soon. Check out my new blog at www.doingtheordinary.tumblr.com. I post my artwork, music, and much more. What are you waiting for?! See what I've been up to.

It's Hailey's Birthday!

There's no art in this post. I don't have anything to show. My first project is actually do tomorrow, WHICH I probably should be working on, but for some reason I felt compelled to write. I feel like I've got a lot going on at the moment, and I guess in some ways I've been struggling to keep up and handle it all, more-so mentally then physically. This is a busy time in my life. I'm a year away from graduating college, Lord willing, and I've got to find an internship for the summer, I'll have to find a place to stay, and I really should take some summer classes. There is more, but school is one of my main concerns at this moment in time.

How have I been dealing with the stress? Well, I've started up running again. I haven't been running consistently since my senior year in high school. I started really slow, but I'm to the point now where I can run about three miles before I completely give out. I feel pretty accomplished about that, especially considering my first night of running I didn't even finish a mile. I'm also very excited to use this new application I have. It's called RunKeeper. It's an application that uses the GPS in my phone, and it keeps up with my mileage, time, pace, and so on. I'm a nerd, but I'm looking forward to putting it to use.

Speaking of my phone, I have a new phone. I finally got my iPhone I've been wanting forever. I love it. It's amazing, and probably the greatest phone ever. Anyway, I'll move on from my phone.

I've decided that I've lost a bit of my creativity. When doing work for school or just for fun, I feel a lack of ideas. I need to go back to what I used to do and how I used to be. I need to start writing music and doodling whenever I can. I use to always be doing one of those two things, and I feel that is what I need. When I do work or projects, I don't seem to enjoy them. I don't doubt that I'm following the wrong career path, I just feel that I've become lazy. Not only have I become lazy in my art, but I feel lazy in life. I've realized I don't always make an effort, weather it's in my relationship, friendships, or anything else. I'm a lazy individual, and I've become to hate it.

Well, going back to my internship, I think I've decided that Dallas has a lot of opportunities. There a couple of really cool design firms that I would love to work with this summer. One is called One Fast Buffalo. They have done some really awesome work, and it looks like they have a really cool work environment. Another place I've looked at is called El Creative. I'm interested in an internship there for the same reasons as the other firm. So I've found some places, now all I have to do is send them some of my work and see what happens. Hopefully, it will all work out.

I really don't think that there is a whole lot more to say. Well, I'm sure there is, but it's not blog worthy or something I don't really care for everyone to read about and whatnot. Even though there is a lot going on, I'm happy.  I have a lot of good things going for me. Lets just hope it stays that way.

Ode To CJ

Well, I felt like posting some more things, but these images I'm going to post are really anything new. These are things I've done a over time for my good friend, CJ Carr. He's always wanting me to Photoshop him into photos, and that's perfectly fine, because I love to do it. Some of the stuff he asked me to do and, and others are stuff I've just done for fun. I even make an appearance in one of them. Enjoy.

What I've Done Over the Past Few Months

I've not done much since November. I've not had much of anything to show, but a new semester has started. I will hopefully have some new, wonderfully awesome things to show to the blog world. For right now though, I thought I would post a few things I've done since the last thing I've posted.

Alright, so this is some of the work I did for the North Blvd. Church of Christ youth group back home. The first thing is did is a cover for what the youth minister, David Skidmore, calls "Skid Notes". On the back of the cover will be an outline of the pervious bible study they've just learned about, and they will be handed out to all the teens in the youth group. The next thing I did for the youth group was create a poster for their upcoming bible series called "What's In Your Locker?".

The most recent thing I've designed was for the CAB on campus. They wanted a poster to promote an upcoming weekend where they were showing a couple of movies on campus. This was a bit of a last minute thing. I was asked to do this at about 11 o'clock the night before they needed it. So needless to say, this probably isn't by best work...or maybe it is.
