It’s Time to Start Posting

Hi,

I haven’t blogged much before, and I think I’m going to give it a try. I’d like to post images of design projects I’m working on, just to share my work with others and the joy I take in it. I might also post images I see of others’ work from time to time, because there are so many beautiful things to see and share in the visual landscape.

Here are some brochure cover layouts layouts I finished up yesterday while lounging with my computer on a table in the backyard. I’ll tell you at the end which the client picked.

My pick probably would have been #4, but, alas, the client chose #2. I think it was a good choice, though.  Now I’ll be moving on to inner layouts for that selection.

Also, here are two photos of myself I took while out in the yard…  I liked the lighting that Photobooth was getting, and let’s face it, this is an introductory post.

Kind Gifts From a Furry Giver

Our little cat Sprout de la Paz is very wonderful. She is so curious, so alert, so charming. And she’s also the most supreme huntress of Westmoreland Blvd.  Sprout preys upon rodents, lizards, birds, and giant cockroaches on an almost daily basis.

Most of the time, they end up in my and Johanna’s bedroom. It can be gross sometimes, but I’ve never minded, because I love how wild and smart that cat is.

Last night, when Sproutie brought in a little mouse (completely alive and in one piece, thankfully!), some of the roomies told me something I’d never heard before: that cats bring their prey into the house as gifts! It’s not for the cat’s benefit– they could always just enjoy the kill outside if they wanted to– no, it’s a sign of love and gratitude to their owners!  I can’t believe I’d never heard that before! To think, all those little animals…  could they really have been expressions of love for US? Wow! I’m just so touched and happy at that thought!

Here are some confirmations from the internetosphere:

Thank you, Sprout! Thank you thank you thank you!!
