Sometimes the line between art and design fades. Digital art makes things even more fuzzy. And that's not a bad thing.

Harry Potter Tribute Show!
Two of my favorite things, together at last; art and Harry Potter!
Harry Potter Tribute Art Blog
About the project:
"Although the movies have done a tremendous job in the manner of visual depiction, many artists and readers alike, have had their own vision of the Harry Potter world. This Blog hopes to be a platform for those visions as well as new concepts that further builds upon that world while paying homage through illustration to the epic tale that has touched the imaginations of so many readers."

The Resume is Dead, The Bio is King
I found an interesting article that made me think back on my own bio on my website. I keep wondering how I should balance the personal vs the professional persona. This article had some good tips on how to craft my bio, and I think I translate some of it to my cover letters, too.
The Resume is Dead, The Bio is King
I don't know that I would completely replace a resume with a bio, however. Most traditional job postings still ask for your resume, and I think they would look at you askance if you handed them something else. This is a useful guide for more of a website bio, personal letter, or elevator pitch. Typically these things would come into play in less traditional job-seeking settings (which I am sure many creative professionals are familiar with). Still, hold on to that resume, I'm sure it will come in useful at some point.

Happy Birthday To Me
My fabulous camera, arriving at my door, with impeccable timing, on my birthday! I'll have to take some better test pictures than a picture of my sister's birds, though it's already loads better than the crap camera I have now. I can finally start to compensate for my awful photography skills ;)
I feel like a pro. Now to start acting like one.

Doodle #2!
I honor of the wonderful weather (at least the few minutes of it in between all the rain) I have come out with this second Doodle!
I know I said I would make a Doodle every day. That was a bit of an exaggeration. I have other projects, too, you know. Still, I will do more and more and more and I will never stop until my efforts finally work!

Nikon Coolpix L120
I ordered a new camera today! I know, it's not quite a DSLR, but it's a damn sight better than the camera I am working with right now. And in my budget :) Isn't she sexy? I'll have to wait until I actually get her before I decide what to name her.
The problem with taking reference photos when you have shaky hands lies in having a camera that waits a few eons and then decides to move the shutter. Hopefully this baby will be quick enough to compensate for my awesome jitters. I had pretty much stopped taking my own reference photos because my photos always sucked so much. Hopefully I can get back into the habit. And maybe I'll get some lovely bar mitzvah memories too.
