Mundays!


So last Monday was Mundays, an event thrown every third Monday by Vision Design Studio the company I work for [ www.ilovemundays.com ]. Mundays is held at a local bar/restaurant and it's main purpose is to bring creatives together for food, drinks and good company...or for a more epic description it's "Another battle in humanity's eternal war against Monday."

This month around I was given the chance to design the poster and naturally decided to make Max, my Boston Terrier, the classy subject. After creating the poster, with the help of my coworkers, we made him screen-printable [if that's a word.] and put him on just about everything. I went home with some Max printed coasters, a poster and a T-shirt!

Check the next one out!

Exciting.

After only two days I dropped that babysitting gig and started full time as web designer/developer at Vision Design Studio in the LBC...[haha home of snoop d-o double g.] I am liking it a lot. The people are good times, it pays enough to pay the bills and buy me a new leather jacket, and its teaching me new things like C#! I have been exploring the idea of starting my own company since I was a little one and recently I have been trying to figure out all the details. I like my job but ultimately I know that I will be the happiest working for myself/ with a few others from a home office with flexible work hours. I want to be able to do something new everyday. We spend so much of our lives working. I want to make sure that my work is what makes me happy. I will not settle for a life where I work just to make money so in my free time I can do something I like. My purpose in life is happiness. My happiness and the happiness of those I care about. My plan is to work at the job I have now for a while to gain more experience and save money. Then with a lot of planning and good timing I will start a web/graphic design studio along with Rita one of my best friends and someone who I know will be a great business partner. We work extremely well together and both are at our peak creatively in the evenings/nights. During the day I plan on exploring my photographer/artist self more and hopefully having an exhibit at some point. I would also like to start writing more songs and preforming. There is a lot that I want to do and I really want to be active in the community...Not to mention I want to start riding again. I look forward to that life...but until then I will know that what I am doing is positive and helping me move forward to making the successful switch over to the entrepreneur I am.
