So in my final quest for Graphic Design domination in Austin I have now become the Graphic Design Examiner for Austin!

All things related to the graphic and print design industry will be covered. My first contribution is the debate on textbooks going digital in Texas.

I should rethink that title…Austin marketing mastermind strikes again??? lol. Getting used to saying Austin more and more as you can tell!

Anyway… I finished a new website and completed the seo on the site. I finished it on Monday night and loaded it. Tonight I received an email from the person I was doing the project for ( I was hired as a “ghost” freelancer … think of as a ghost writer except I made a website.)

They said the client was uber-happy and said the keywords (keywords I selected btw) were already placing the site on page one of google already. Even thought I will get ZERO credit for the job and the client will never know it was me, I’m still proud of my work.

I worked on that project alone and to hear the outcome is going so well makes me happy even though I can’t showcase it the way I wanted to.

I can still brag on my blog. lol.

It’s been a long month and I’m looking forward to what April is going to bring!

My friend Vers and I HATE spiders.

I MEAN HATTTEEEEEE spiders. Most people don’t like them. But I am horrified by them. I saw on in my car while driving and pulled over and proceeded to clean out my whole car right there. Luckily for me it was on a residential road.

One thing I will have to get used to in Austin is the insects. And by insects I’m talking scorpions which are apparently common out there along with giant cockroaches ( whoa…lol).

Great….lol.

Artist James Laurie created these glasses for capturing spiders that often hide in the corner. Don’t you hate it when they do that! I can’t kill them when they do that…and apparently this artist has the solution:

“Frustrated with spiders and other insects trapping themselves within a corner of a room making it difficult to catch. To counter this problem a glass was designed in collaboration with William Tapply, with a right-angled rim to correct this issue, cut and shaped accordingly from a tumbler glass. In order to retain the spider, whilst moving the glass away from the wall a folded sheet of paper is slipped between the glass and corner.”

This beats me always trying to kill spiders with windex since I can never find the can of bug spray when I really need it! Still…I don’t want to get that close to the spider to kill it and it seems this artist is trying to be kind and contain it so they can release it outside when my main goal is simple:

SPRAY/SMASH and KILL

Better stock up on bug spray now…

Thank you to http://baronesss.blogspot.com/ for making such a wonderful illustration ( using painter! ) I think I want to get back into painting. I have not touched a paintbrush since leaving Corcoran.

Today has not been a good day. I received some very bad news regarding something  I was very very excited about. I feel like this picture…lol
