In October I blogged in excitement about some t-shirt designs I created for highly successful Dallas fashion brand Katydid Collection, and even got in a right tizz about the thought of Jennifer Aniston wearing one (well, they did mail her one, the very least she could do is show some semblence of blinkin’ gratitude and wear it … oh yes and then get photographed in it also.)

Well, I have exciting news ….

A few months ago I described the research and the design process for the Olympian Mindset brand identity project.

I also recently uploaded some photos of their stationery designs (the blog directly before this one).

You may remember (if anyone is following this blog that is …. echo …echo … echo..) me talking about the Olympian Mindset identity design project, which I was very pleased with the outcome of.

Part of the project involved stationery design and this was designed and printed pre-Christmas, it’s only now (read about my Christmas eye infection saga!) I’ve found time to show you the results…. it’s been crazy hectic at work this week and last as well.

Got lots to say when passing on your details? Why squeeze your message onto just a double sided flat business card when you can so easily have folded?

There are pro’s and con’s for this option of course, but if you feel like you just need to say a lot its a way of achieving that without ruining the aesthetics of your business card with squashed unreadable text rammed edge to edge.

My Facebook account has been disabled… I have no idea why, I’ve sent my begging message to them to find out. Apparently I’m looking at up to a week for a response.

Well it might be because it was hacked Saturday morning and might be whatever the hacker was up to before Brett White of fab design firm Peekaboo Design kindly phoned me and let me know that I’m there telling him on their instant messenger that I’ve been mugged at gunpoint in London and am stranded and he please send me ‘$$’

(So funny on Saturday morning to find this out…. but obviously not funny now my account has been disabled!)

So if you are wondering why I’m no longer your ‘friend’ or seem to not exist any more, that’s why. If you want to beg on my behalf because you cannot bear to not to hear my witty Facebook rapport this week please kindly email disabled@facebook.com with your outrage ;-))

Sigh

Ho hum… seems like I will actually get some work done this week then, ha ha ;-))

I saw some nice illustrations on product packaging in December before my eye infection nearly blinded me for two weeks

Happy New Year!

That’s right, be impressed, instead of lying in bed nursing a hangover I’m here, in my office, working, and have been for three hours. Not only that before even getting here I’d already tidied my house from the party I had last night and have a load of washing on … so you can be double impressed.

So, it’s back to work time self employed slackers .. you know it, I know it. The fun’s over.
