As I have said, its been a busy month. I got approval for this finished medallion sculpt yesterday. The scrap for this sculpt was awful, hard to tell what was what in the art. But I pushed through and nailed it anyway. I only have about 25 hours in this one, a large portion of that carving letter forms. I am still not exactly thrilled with the glasses, but the deadline was met and the client was happy and two out of three isn’t bad.

I wanted to wait until the show was over before publishing the Intermax graphics, and it is officially over; So here they are! We ended up using the graphics on a large 3 x 10 foot booth header, on 6 separate direct mail postcards (which they also handed out at the show,) A large poster, and web graphics. We are currently working on yard signs for conversion points, and some integrated message sheets for sales calls and media kits. All in all it has been a good project to work on this summer. Lots of fun.
On another note, School started on Monday and I have two full sections of illustration students who I am teaching this fall. It is always exciting to start out a new year.
I am beta testing a new to-do list called Things which is based on the GTD (getting things done) paradigm. So far I like it a lot. If has a few glitches but it functions much better than Apple’s and I can organize it by client and sort by tags. My To-do list the last couple of months has been enormous, so organizing and getting things done has been a major chore. With school now taking a place on my studio stage, staying organized and on top of the work curve is vitally important.
