A friend recently had a baby and asked if I would make some artwork for his nursery. She really liked the birth announcement-like canvases that you see all over <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> and wanted something similar to hang in his nursery. These friends are giant Cubs fans so little Simon's nursery is appropriately Cubs themed so I continued that in the color scheme of the announcement. I originally had planned to digitize the hand lettering and then get it printed through <a href="http://spoonflower.com/">Spoonflower</a> but I realized that I could do it much quicker if I just skipped the computer part. I ended up hand painting it onto off-white linen using acrylic paint and then mounting it on canvas stretchers. Amazingly enough, hand painting the lettering wasn't that difficult and went pretty quickly.emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11837149598258330972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506966711880841522.post-18618401031981589442012-06-08T17:39:00.000-04:002012-06-08T17:39:14.514-04:00on the hunt: one-piece swimsuitI feel like this year's options when it comes to one-pieces are a lot better than it has been other seasons. I have a hard time when it comes to swim suit shopping because I like coverage which apparently swim suit brands don't believe in (at least not in conjunction with a cute pattern). I found a bunch through online searching and found a surprisingly great selection at Old Navy the other day.<br />

I have just one more project to turn in before I have three weeks of break which include a trip to Miami! While you might not be able to tell from my blog I've actually been doing very well on my photo taking. As I browse through my last few weeks I find that you can tell that my life revolves around classes and projects because that is what a majority of my photos chronicle. I really like that I think to document some of the mundane moments and my process because it's such a large part of my life that it amuses me to have people "like" these photos when they're viewed out of context.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd do a little round-up of my school-related photos from the previous 10 weeks.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My sister turned me onto this recipe when she was here visiting. I love Tom Yum soup and was excited that this recipe has easy to find ingredients in addition to being quick and easy to make. The nice thing about this recipe is that there is a lot of wiggle room in ingredient choices. This was the <a href="http://thaifood.about.com/od/oodlesofnoodles/r/tyumnoodles.htm">original recipe</a> and I've made some small revisions (alterations are in italics) that are reflected in my version below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This recipe yields enough for 2 sizable servings and it keeps really nicely.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>The recipe:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3-4 cups chicken stock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 stalk lemongrass, lower 1/3 finely minced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>zest of 1 lime plus a squeeze of it's juice</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
12-14 medium or large raw shrimp, shelled</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Tbsp fish sauce <b><i>or</i></b> <i>1-1 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce</i> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 cloves garlic, minced</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
generous handful fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced thinly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 green and/or red bell pepper, sliced <i>(I prefer to skip the peppers)</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 can coconut milk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/3 cup fresh coriander, roughly chopped</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>1 fresh jalapeno, sliced</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>2-3 stalks green onion </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Preparation:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Heat stock on medium to high heat in a deep cooking pot. Add minced lemongrass, including upper parts of the stalk, to the broth and boil 5-6 minutes, until fragrant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Reduce heat to a nice simmer. Then add garlic, red pepper flakes, lime, green onions, jalapeno and mushrooms to broth. Continue simmering for another 5 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Add shrimp and simmer 5 minutes, or until shrimp are pink and plump.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Turn heat down to low and add the coconut milk and fish (or oyster) sauce. Taste the soup and adjust to taste. If too sour, add 1 tsp. brown sugar. For a richer, creamier soup add more coconut milk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Serve garnished with fresh coriander. </div>

A new SCAD quarter just started yesterday and while it's still a tad organized I thought I'd share what I routinely have in my bag.<br />
<br />
<b>Clockwise from top left:</b> I've given up on folders and resorted to these great envelopes because I was never one to keep them very tidy anyway. It has a great front pocket on each where I can keep my syllabus handy and it keeps everything in one spot. I always have my mini stapler, glue stick, and white-out on me. My calendar that I rely on to tell me everything. I usually have a couple rolls of washi tape in my bag somewhere because they are great for taping things into my sketchbooks or calendar. An assortment of pens and markers. I'm very loyal to my felt tip marker that I take notes with and it's essential to have large markers handy for brainstorming. My headphones, id card, and chapstick are always inside my wallet. Lately I've taken to carrying a large container of ibuprofen around. And lastly, an assortment of post-its. Very important, and I always find myself searching the bottom of my bag for them!emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11837149598258330972noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506966711880841522.post-62023969851181692882012-03-16T16:24:00.001-04:002012-03-16T16:29:05.239-04:00mini masterpiecesIt's never too early to introduce the kiddies to the works of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pride-Prejudice-BabyLit-English-Edition/dp/1423622022/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331929093&sr=1-2">Jane Austen</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Romeo-Juliet-BabyLit-Board-Book/dp/1423622057">Shakespeare</a>, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jane-Eyre-Series-Brilliant-Babylit/dp/1423624742/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1331929093&sr=1-1">Charlotte Bronte</a>.

<br />
This is probably my biggest design accomplishment to date, and it's only halfway done.<br />
<br />
This quarter I took the course Typeface Design where I began work on my first typeface entitled Quaker. So far Quaker includes uppercase glyphs, numbers, and primary punctuation. I'll continue working on them next quarter and complete the full set.<br />
<br />

It was inspired by a vintage canvas sugar bag that I saw in an antique store. The starting point was the A and during the design process it is one of the few forms that did not experience significant revisions.<br />
<br />
I have a lot of process documentation for this project because I intend to show this in my 45 hour MFA review. Below is a video that shows the designing process for the original six key glyphs and the E. I have over 10,000 frames from the duration of the project so I have to find a way to display them without it becoming an hour long motion picture. I think it is safe to say that I would be the<i> ONLY</i> person interested in that. <br />

My amazon shopping cart has exploded with books that I just can't quite bring myself to buy. This is partially due to the fact that I'm very angry at losing my amazon student status that got me free two day shipping but that is besides the point.<br />
<br />
If anyone is feeling generous and would like to donate or gift me with any one of these puppies I would be extremely grateful! Congratulations-on-finishing-your-finals gift perhaps?? Oh wait, does that holiday not exist?<br />
<br />
I might just have to reallocate my birthday funds from the previously mentioned dress into books. Now that's an interesting thought: 1 dress = 8 (used) books.<br />

<br />
The focus of my current research project for the Visual Culture course that I am currently taking is the current resurgence of hand painted signage. One of my primary cases studies that I have been using as an example is the company <a href="http://colossalmedia.com/">Colossal Media</a> who have successfully established themselves as purveyors of hand painted outdoor media. Their work can be seen in several of the U.S.'s major markets and is (I believe) contributing to the medium's reemergence. <a href="http://www.stellaartois.com/upthere/">Watch this video and you'll understand.</a> One thing that I think has assisted in the public's* sudden interest is the focus on the process. The development of these works become an installation piece and we can very easily attach a face to the work being created. This skill straddles the line between the fine art and the graphic design, especially when used for advertisements like the work of Colossal Media. It is ironic that I compare this skill to the fine arts because historically and even contemporarily it is rare that those who possess this undeniable skill are considered "artists" in the traditional sense of the term, instead labeled as craftsmen. This idea of a "craftsman" is also of great interest to me but that is a topic for another time. Primarily because I need to complete a lot more reading on that topic to fully form my opinion. But I digress. I feel that I have happened upon this subject at just the right time because many within my university community (and definitely outside of Savannah too, such as <a href="http://signpaintermovie.blogspot.com/">this</a>, <a href="http://www.preserve.co.nz/">this</a>, and <a href="https://vimeo.com/29532876">this</a>) are also thinking about it.<br />
<br />
However, this is also somewhat unfortunate because I would always like to hope that my ideas are new and different but nay, they are not. This brings about another question, though maybe not question but proof, that you are indeed a product of your surroundings. While I don't think sign painting has become a <i>sudden</i> interest to me it has definitely become a new research interest and I wonder how much of that is affected by my surroundings. What have I seen, heard or been exposed to that nudged me in this direction?<br />
<br />
<br /> <br />
*I say<i> public</i> but then quickly realize that as a graduate graphic design student my knowledge of "public" is very skewed. So let's consider this just <i>my small corner of the public</i>.<br />

I am ready for flow-y, light dresses, sandals and no tights. Actually, I like tights; I am sad when it becomes to warm to wear them.<br />
<br />
I'm currently eying these lovelies who were all in the running as birthday dresses but lost out because they were only available online.<br />

My mother sends some pretty strange care packages. Not strange in a bad way; quite the opposite in fact! I caught her at the grocery store right before she sent it so I was loaded up with all the random items I was running out of in addition to all the birthday goodies she was sending. <br />
<br />
Two boxes came within the same week and I do not get mail easily at my apartment. My mailman is not the most proactive deliverer, therefore, I have to anticipate his arrival and track down anything larger than my mail slot. I got to know my mailman quite well this week!<br />
<br />
Pixar stamps<br />
White cake mix and frosting – my fave!<br />
Contact solution<br />
Filter for my water pitcher – I'm TERRIBLE about changing those<br />
Peanut butter – she singlehandedly keeps me stocked with pb<br />
Candles – for the cake<br />
Coffee – lots of it!<br />
Butterfingers<br />
A bag of mini snickers<br />
1 box of thin mint Girl Scout cookies<br />
A bag of chocolate chips<br />
A bag of Reese's peanut butter chips<br />
Cheez-its <br />
Toothpaste<br />
Soap<br />
Band-aids<br />
Neosporin<br />
Ibuprofen<br />
Paper towels<br />
BIRTHDAY PRESENTS!!!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Now that was just box one. Box two was a little stranger. I can only assume that she just started loading it with random stuff at a certain point to fill it up.<br />
<br />
Another box of thin mint Girl Scout cookies<br />
Lofthouse sugar cookies<br />
Lettuce wrap sauce – ???<br />
A large can of olive oil<br />
Lysol wipes<br />
Peanut butter<br />
Buttons<br />
Chocolate chips<br />
Granola bars<br />
Peanut butter M&Ms<br />
Random make-up samples<br />
Dried mushrooms – ???<br />
Crispy caramel apple chips<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what this list says about me?<br />
