Busy, busy, busy... |

Yeah, I lament the fact that I don't get on here very often, and when I do, it's usually for like, 20 minutes .
However, I've been hella busy (what else is new?) -- and not just in music (!!).
My recital is this Saturday, but there's probably 5 other people's recitals between now and then, and somehow it got out that I do "graphic design"*
So now I've been hired out by 4 or 5 friends to do their recital posters, and potentially have a gig next semester doing the concert posters for the New Music Ensemble.
* I use the term loosely, because it's been a long time since I seriously practiced doing this, and I don't think what I do is so much graphic design, but more like "I can use Illustrator and Photoshop better than the average person and I can draw, so I have some eye for putting things together."
Then my friend that's a film/production major asked me to draw backgrounds for her green-screen short film, which is an adaptation of a Calvin & Hobbes comic strip (where Calvin imagines himself as a Private Eye). It's like, kiddy film-noir. They actually turned out quite good, despite the fact that I had to complete them between the hours of 1:30-3:30am and was high on Sharpie markers for the duration of the time (they were high-contrast black and white, and all I had were permanent markers). I'm getting a copy of it when they finish editing, so maybe it'll be on YT or something so that I can post it.
Anyway, my recital is being recorded, so I'll post the results of that foray next week. Here's my poster; I had originally decided to do a "serious" poster, but after seeing what kinds of crazy stuff people were doing to catch attention, I went with something more fun. I'm printing them today, posting them later .
The Jessica Rabbit/violist is something I drew for a fellow violist while I was at a music festival a few years back...
