This past week has been a constant stream of work. The work itself has been varied. I have been working on a logo for a new client, A cover illustration for a romance novel, A coin sculpt for a fireman who died in the line of duty, a price list for a catalog and some small vector web illustrations. Switching from one project to another is not always seamless. I will be working on the sculpt, when the client will call with a price list change. I jump to the price list to make the change and send back a pdf; when another client will call with a change in the web graphics. I make that change and get back to playing in clay when I reach a point where I need to cast a mold, so I throw plaster on it, and while it is curing I pull out my tablet and continue to work on the romance book cover. Whew!

I normally do a bit of bouncing … but this is pressing it a bit. In three weeks classes begin for the 2008 fall semester at NIC. I Sometimes feel like I need some sort of clutch to ease between graphic gears

I’ve included a picture of the sculpt for the fireman. It is sometimes hard to do these type of sculpts. Memorial images often reflect stoic figures. This design was very different in that the picture is a reflection of a happy and smiling man who obviously enjoyed his time here. The laugh lines around his eyes I think were the best memorial to leave behind. It is an affirmation of life. I really enjoyed doing it
