With a bachelors degree in my pocket, and two more awards on my mantle. I’m ready to jump back into the work force. For those of you who actually read this blog, and don’t know already. I received my bachelors of science in graphic design with honors from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh -and- both the Best of Show and Employer’s Choice awards. Meaning, I was picked by faculty, employers, students, and everyone voting to have the best display in the show. [ unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera, so no pictures ]. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that something job-related is going to happen soon. I haven’t been working all week, and already I’m bored out of my mind. At least this time off has given me some time to draw a lot more. I’ve actually pulled out my sketchbook again, and have started working on some new stuff.

With the new year coming, I can only be optimistic on where my future will take me. I’m ready to get out there and start making a difference with my art and design. I have about 2 more months of financial sustainability, so it’s becoming more important every day that I find a job as soon as I can. Unfortunately, I’m limited in my job search to pittsburgh, since I can’t afford to move to another city right now. But, I feel that this is a good city to get my start in. No matter what happens in the new year, and following years — i’ll keep my head up, and never stop drawing.
