Summer Plans

After finishing off the Spring semester with a successful senior art show, I was very upbeat about the whole "starving artist" thing, and I was even confident that I could devote my time to producing artwork and maybe even bring in some money. I sold a couple of my paintings to random people and at my senior show I realized that people were actually interested in my work.

So I began to think, "What am I going to do this Summer? I know I need to get a job, and right now I'm feeling confident in my artwork, so why don't I just paint?" After talking to my painting instructor who told me that I should contact interior design companies, I had decided that was what I wanted to do. Now I'm four weeks into the Summer, and guess how many paintings I have done? None. Great plan, right?

Apparently I need to be held accountable if I am going to get any artwork done. Which is one of the reasons that I had majored in graphic design anyways. I have found that I am great in office settings. I work like a beaver...I think beavers work hard....But anyways, right as I was realizing that the whole painting thing wouldn't work out (atleast for this summer), I found out about a web graphics development internship at FamilyLife. I applied. I got it. I start June 7th and I can't wait!
