I splash and giggle in the shallow end

Considering I didn’t sleep last night I feel great! What sucks is knowing sometime in the near future I’m going to be all fuckered up. Moods will be completely unpredictable and my libido, whooo boy, A better be prepared. I’d love to say a night without sleep is no biggie, but I am all too familiar with the consequences, and not just the 2pm crash.

At least the web site comp I worked on until I ran out the door to the gym kicks ass!

Yeah, this is what happens when I get all mopey over the weekend and “forget” to work on a project, when in reality I just didn’t have the energy nor desire to do anything but stay in bed and watch tv.

Oh…and it was 30 degrees this morning. In Southern California. WTF?!?!

I can’t keep this hilarious site to myself: Make My Logo Bigger Cream!

Fellow designers around the would will enjoy but please, don’t pass on to those who hire us. I fear they’d actually believe the products exist hehe. I can’t tell you how many times in the past month my largest client has asked for “more starbursts” or “can you make my logo bigger?”. Oh, yeah, and car dealers have no idea what the concept of “white space” is.

My TattooHere, I share my tattoo. This was taken a week ago, before the peeling, and I haven’t had a chance yet to take an updated one. The full moon and water are very important to me…both have a huge pull on me I can’t even explain and only one other person I know so far seems to understand or relate to. Water soothes and excites me, and the moon, the moon really seems to control me at times, it’s scary. The most important aspect of the tat is the subtle X in the middle of the moon. This is the gebo rune, which represents eternal balance, thus symbolizing my bipolar disorder.

The colors are extremely vibrant and I couldn’t be happier. My favorite aspect is the moon’s reflection, but the sky and water is just truly amazing and beyond what I expected.
