So, this is a lens huh?

Well, I've got some learning to do, but in most cases learning is free so I'm good to go. This is my lens on Graphic Design & Illustration. I figured it was a good topic to go on since I am in fact a graphic designer and illustrator.
Anyhow, I'll try my best to make this lens as informative and as entertaining as possible! Stay tuned for a whole lotta that! ;)

CafePress 

I looove CafePress!!

I tried to use the module for the cafepress listing, but I'm on a mac it wasn't registering what I was trying to showcase. So, here is a link www.cafepress.com/bignerdy
I'm a graphic designer by day, but I like to design stuff for this when I have some down time. Just fun to do.

Amazon: Holga 120N 

Check it out!

I bought this camera last year. It's a lot of fun, though I am waiting for the nice weather to role around so I can start using it again. Snow isn't so nice to photograph and it makes me cold as well.

Creativity Block 

My blog!

So here is my blog. It started as a way of getting over a creativity block that I was having. It was part of a school project that I had in college.
I did, in fact get over the creativity block and I've been posting for over a year now. It's something that started off as a lot of moaning and groaning about how I had lost my creative touch and how my job sucked and school was bogging me down. Then, out of no where, I began to create again and post often.

Fun links to visit 

Illustration and Cartooning sites

Here is a list of sites that I visit on a weekly, daily or even hourly basis. Enjoy.
Drawn.ca
A great illustration and cartooning blog. I check this out for updates at least 50 times a day! I love it. They feature some very creative individuals.
Illustration Friday
Every Friday a new topic is posted and many people post their interpretation of that topic. Wonderful styles and approaches to the very same topic. A source of inspiration for myself. I post when I get a creative spark based on the topic.
Illustration Mundo
A great site that is devoted to illustration. I don't check it out as often as I should but perhaps this post will serve as a reminder!
Sugar Frosted Goodness
Another neglected link of mine, but here is another reminder for myself!
Fecal Face
I enjoy this site, there is a LOT to look at. There are a lot of blogs that contain a lot of photos of adventures and events. My particular favorite on this site is Free Fridayz. It is kind of like illustration Friday but a little darker in areas.
Freelance Switch
The ultimate resource for anyone who freelances, particularly those who design, illustrate or write.

Fantasies of Parenthood 

A new blog written by yours truly and her better half.

So, this is our new blog, Fantasies of Parenthood.

My husband and I have zero children, and kind of like it that way. On the other hand, we do talk quite a bit about what it would be like to spawn something that looked like us.

It's kind of a funny glimpse into what we would be like as parents if we lacked our parental intuitions and simply treated the kid as if he was our equal.
