A designer's Nightmare

As designers the wheel of death is the loading icon for mac. For PC'S just think of the blue screen of death and it is always scary when that wheel just continues to turn. That is why I did this little illustration.

The Arcade Fire: Pioneers of a Great Rock Concert

On the 14th of August I had the distinct pleasure of seeing the Arcade Fire in Concert and I must say that they are quite the musicians, they played beautifully and the crowd was so into it. I designed a piece for them and here it is:

the text is my review of the concert and it reads:

If there is one band you should see live this year, Arcade Fire should be it. I had the chance to see them at the concert on Centre Island in Toronto They were without a doubt the best band I have seen live EVER. Their ability to play multiple instruments, and be all around awesome astounded even cynical me. They really got the crowd into in a way that I have never seen and there was such an appreciation and love of what we saw before us. What we saw was masterful, and you couldn’t help but sing along. The last song of the night was the anthem “Wake Up”

and I think even the band were surprised by the enthusiasm and fervour at which the crowd was into it. It was a truly great concert and I guess I’ve drank the Arcade Fire Kool-Aid and I can say is “Can I have some more”.

Hope you like it.

The Dreaded Job Hunt

So It's been like a year since I updated this bliggity blog of randomness. Suffice to say in a year I've graduated from university and traveled to Europe. The trip to Europe was amazing although I must say, I certainty wasn't known for my photography on the trip. My pictures all turned out fairly okay, which is to say if the view hadn't been that good there wouldn't have been any good photos at all.

So now I am working on the job hunt and my plan is to keep applying and then keep myself distracted while I was waiting for the phone to ring, so my masterful plans are as follows.

#1 get a pet of my very own - we have to cats, but they're crazy I need something managable I was thinking about a rock, and I could name him Angus. Opinions on that?

#2 basically the pet rock thing was all I could think of to keep myself busy but if you guys have any ideas let me know

#3 start a blog.....Kachooow done....check mark that one off, wow look I am so productive already.

any other ideas?
