Opportunitays

Dude, this blog is going stale. My post probably won't jump start it, but it's a post nonetheless.

I received an email the other day from an old coworker. Here's part of it: "I am creating a small graphic/web design and industrial design consulting company to ultimately help service a couple of projects I am working on plus take on additional projects. Let me know if you have any good freelance contacts." As I've previously said, Layne's Freelance Shack has closed its doors temporarily until I can get a normal work week, so I'm of no use to him. But I'm passing this along to you guys because I love you all so much. Except for Nate dog (it's a long story, but sharing a bed in Switzerland with him and his meat-hooks was a trial of epic proportions).

The contact email for this is jstew48 {at} gmail {dot} com.

Lame Post, cool concert

This is a lame post for a design blog, but we need some conversation, so here it is. March 7th in Logan, be there or be triangle!

Want some work?

A colleague at work asked if I knew anyone who could do a simple website for a pizza place in Portland. Since moving to Idaho with the new job my work week has rarely dropped below 60 hours, so I've cut any and all freelance. If any of you have some extra time and want to make some extra coin, let me know (layne dot turner at gmail dot com).

Black Diamond is hiring

This is a boring post but Black Diamond is hiring and I think you should all apply for the position. I know the creative director and he would be fun to work with. view the position

Burton Design Competition

The other night I participated in a design comp put on by Burton and HP. We were required to design a snowboard on the spot in like 4 hours. None other than Shaun White was there to judge the designs, so, lucky me got to meet him. I didn't win the competition but hey, who cares, I got to meet a gold medalist.

Rock and or Roll

Posting events on the blog, what a fantastic idea. Kara, you're a genius.

For those of you who have made the move down to SLC (and also those of you who would like to make the 1.5 hour trek from Logan down to SLC to see a crappy band play)...my band is playing at a place called the Outer Rim this Saturday (the 19th). Info found below...

Contact me if you want pre-sale tickets. I can get them to ya for 6 bucks...

A good rant

Every so often I feel the desire to rant... I hate to be a whiner, but lately I've been running into the problem that after communicating via phone or email, clients are sometimes surprised to see that I look so young, and sometimes I feel that I don't get the proper respect or am not taken seriously because people think I'm a high school student. It seems a bit harder to build trust or command a high price for my designs. Do any of you folks seem to have this problem? Let me know what you think. Maybe I should grow out a huge beard, haha.

Career Update

Hey folks,

Just thought I would let you all in on the big news. I'm the new Art Director for Camp Chef (thank you Layne for posting the job opening) which also means we're back in Logan. We just moved in to the house on the corner of Center and 2nd east. So if anyone needs a place to crash or just wants to stop and say hi, everyone is welcome. By the way. . . all this snow is screamin' for a BBQ, don't you think.

Hey y'all
My husband and a couple of friends are puttin' on a concert tonight in Ogden if anyone wants to come--everyone's invited!

6:30pm :: Church house across from Bonneville High (just off Washinton Blvd)

The event's also posted on Facebook if you want to check that out :)
