Since the trip to Europe, and even while I’ve been back to work… there are several what if questions on my mind. Nothing out of the realm of possibility, but, I’m still curious… what the result would be. It’s got me questioning a few other things, in a healthy thought provoking and productive manner. I’m not sure if anything will come of it, at least nothing substantial.

But, tonight, I wanted to make a small change. I wanted to be able to tell people what kind of work I do, without saying anything to them. And, it’s been on my mind, as well. I do have a very definitive style, and it’s very well suited for several spheres… mainly music and entertainment. I know this already, but… I think I’m becoming more comfortable with the idea, this is what I’m supposed to be doing. And now I have to really start doing it. I’ll probably keep the 9 to 5 for awhile, as it’s good business, and money. But I’m also going to take more personal time from work, where I can make moves in my life which make me really happy… doing this type of design for the people who really appreciate it.

Below is the end result. I designed and ordered, in one evening, the front and back of these business cards. It’s my design, my style, my name on ’em and they are going to show what I want to do, not what some people want me to do. I’m at the point in my career where I can pick my clients, and do the work I love.

Wow.

I’ve accepted the offer at Special Ops Media.

I will once again join the ranks of the 9 to 5 drones of the city! Joking aside, I am genuinely excited about working with them, and the large team of creative people I will be surrounded by. It will instigate more creative flowing for myself… something I haven’t been lucky enough to be around for quite some time. Anxiously anticipating good things.

My first two clients are Universal Music and Disney. Starting out small I see!

It’s been pretty quiet around these parts.

I have been able to secure a few more places to stay overseas. Which is a money saver. I have a friend with a place in Gent who is going to let me crash there for a night or two. A night or two in Antwerp. Maybe a night in Rotterdam. And maybe a night in Amsterdam. This means I’d only really have to find a place 1 or 2 nights in Germany.

Still waiting to hear back from one place about this employment thing. They seem to be dragging their feet more than I had anticipated and I’m likely to swipe up some more freelance work in the meantime. It’s a bummer to have to keep pushing the start day, but, it’s no fault of mine. And meanwhile, they will be slowing their own work.

Maybe the tide will draw a bit tomorrow… but, there seem to be many uncertainties still floating around my life these days. I guess it keeps me positioned to be alert and perked. Reminds of the kitten I’m sitting… little bugger is about 6 weeks old, and he’s a perky guy. Every time I shift a bit, he’s all up in my face, literally, checking to see if I’m ‘OK’? Why he must lick my eye, I will never know. He’s mad cute though.
