Sorry about the lack of posts, been busy adjusting to Chicago.
Well, work is awesome and Chicago is amazing. Not much else to say. Here are some pics form my past two weeks in my new home.

My work posted on Streetart.com

My work has just been put on the website streetart.com.  Streetart is an incredible website that has anatomy from all art fields, like advertising design as well as graphic design and crafts.  Its a great site for anybody who enjoys anatomy.  Thanks to Vanessa Ruiz for not only posting my stuff, but also creating a great website.

This isn't about lifestyle

Don't be blinded by the hype

This isn't about the Maybachs

And the mansions

The benjamins

Or the bling

As a matter of fact keep the icing

I wanna taste the cake

This is from a Jeremy Piven nba commercial, one of my favorite commercials of all time

Sweet Shoes

Sweet home Chicago

So I interviewed at Beyond Design, a design consultancy that makes a wide range of great products.  The facility was incredible and Michael Prince, the president, was a really nice guy. So if all goes well I will have an internship in the fall.  Thanks to all who helped me get to this point and to Beyond Design for having me there.

Dual Major

So i officially have a dual major-Art Education.  I planned on getting a certificate when I got out of CCS, but I decide it would be easier (and a whole lot cheaper) to do it now, even if it is an extra year of studying.  

I can recall when I was in school how much of an influence my art teachers had on me.  The best teacher makes all the difference.  But I feel as a product designer that art teachers focus WAY too  much on crafts, illustration and fine arts.  I never once had a teacher tell me that I could design products.  There is the notion that one has to be a "starving artist" in order to even enjoy making art.  All of it is pure BS!

I hope that if I do one day decide to be an art teacher I let my students know THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO STARVE TO BE AN ARTIST-THERE IS HOPE!! I hope to encourage them to explore more art careers than just fine arts and crafts.  I wish someone had told me about product design before I came here and I hope that if I do teach that my students have the realization I did when I cam to CCS; there is hope as an artist.
