2nd Annual Augoblogmo

It's the first of August and it's time for Augoblogmo (AUGust BLOG MOnth). Since my last post was an embarrassingly long time ago, it's time for an update. The few but faithful people who read this blog already know this, but in June I graduated from Western Washington with a degree in Graphic Design. My emphasis was in print production, so I got to know the above tools very well - they went everywhere with me. I currently have an internship at a publishing company, Becker&Mayer!, in Bellevue.

The company is ideal; my love for books, toys, games, design, and geekdom can all be found there. My co-workers are awesome, and the past few weeks I've been playing softball with them (go Bookers!). As the month goes on I might find more time for gushing, but right now I just want to express how lucky I am to have the family that helped me get to this point. Without them (and you know who you are), graduating and moving would not have been possible, and now I live a short distance from Torin and many of my old college chums. 

And so, Augoblogmo begins. I learned so much last year. For example, don't be homeless. (Backstory: I couch-surfed all of last August). And I'm committing myself to the insane schedule of 31 illustrations in  31 days to see what I learn this year. I'm very excited to start; painting was one of the hobbies I had to put on hold during the crunch of senior year. So tune in every day for a little something, and wish me luck!
