Little City Center for the Arts
This is Little City Center for the Arts‘ new website that I designed at Orbit recently. I am so happy with the way it turned out. My favorite part about this project is that I love the organization – for more than 20 years, they have provided children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to explore and expand their unique and creative talents, promoting a sense of accomplishment and empowerment through the arts.

CAD, Updates, MIA, Art Show, Condo, Broccoli Quiche
So, the Growing Up CAD show went really well and everyone had a great time. I’m glad Nick and Lee were able to come – we had a really fun night that night (except for the fact that I bumped my head really hard on Nate’s ceiling LOL) – you can see pictures from that night on my flickr set and you can also see the Chicago Art Department Photos here. Here’s cool shot of a couple checking out my piece. :) Bobby and I were really happy to have won one of the silent auctions and got to take home art from Jen Rosenthal. She was one of the original peeps in my Go Go Video class at CAD 3 years ago.
I’ve been a bit MIA lately – just have a lot going on. Doing artwork at home and selling it on etsy, planning a couple of art shows with a friend at work Nick Haas, working on some really huge projects at work that are taking up every bit of my patience, will power, and focus…in fact tonight I think I’ll be working from 7-10 on more designs that are due tomorrow. What’s fun and exciting is I get to go to New York for the design presentation in December…that will be a blast. :)
I absolutely cannot wait to go home for Thanksgiving and see my family and play with my nephew Alex and relax a bit – I’m hoping to get down to Delaware and visit with Jess and Josh for a night and celebrate their birthdays. Depends on if we have enough time to get down there and back without upsetting my family – it is the first time they’ve seen me in a LONG time. I definitely want to try and make it – I’d love to see you guys!
The condo is looking closer to finished now than I think I expected for November and that’s really exciting. :) We still have to wait until February to move in but some of the lower floors will be moving in in December/January. It’s gonna be so awesome to have our own place! yay!
I’m off to work or I’m never gonna get stuff finished for tomorrow! Hope everybody is doing great. And a big thanks to Kurt for the sweet a$$ brocolli quiche he made tonight. Yum in my tum! lol.
Growing Up CAD 2008!
I’m very excited for tonight’s fundraiser at Chicago Art Department – CAD turns 5 years old tonight! From 6PM-10PM at 1837 S. Halsted, Chicago, IL (google map) – there will be a live auction of 35 artist’s work (including mine), door prizes, a live band, food and drinks. It’s going to be a blast and I’m glad some peeps from Orbit will be able to make it. :) I donated a large collage/drawing to help raise money for their cause. The ultimate goal of CAD is to foster careers of blossoming artists and cultivate a welcome and unpretentious atmosphere to work and interact in. I love the people there and I hope we’re always friends. Come join me tonight and get inspired and have some fun. :)
Best Roommate Ever!
So Bobby and I got home from work today to the house smelling amazing! Walked in the kitchen and Kurt was like, “just in time!” and took the foil off of the dish he had just prepared – homeade enchiladas! Oh my goodness they were so good too. MMMMmmmmm. And on top of that he fed the kitties and bought them more food (that I forgot to get at the grocery two nights ago.) AND he did the dishes. AND he burnt me the new Q-Tip CD! Woo hoo! I win!
Chilly
I’m chilly. My toes and hands are cold and I’m inside the house! Boo to the newly cold and crappy weather season. Especially since I’ve decided running in 30 degrees or below weather is not an option for me – I don’t have the right clothing for it and no money to buy it right now. :( I think I might have to get back on the eliptical but I’m really not looking forward to it – I’ve decided its too boring to work out at the house… I do like the eliptical but its not like being in a gym – there’s nothing going on and less motivation to stay on it. As we speak I’m watching my favorite show The Biggest Loser and sitting on my butt…I think the cold weather is really messing with my attitude. I just want to be warm and cozy. Help!
