Fun, eleventy!

By serene | Published: September 13, 2010

Things are looking pretty fun in my neighborhood. I have  my marching orders for the design internship. Mock-ups and photo archives and Adobe InDesign, oh my! (Preemptively speaking, unpaid design work is more fun than paid desk work.) I have an entire week off, staring on Wednesday. My agenda is: play Uncharted 2, bake some [...]

Solicitations

By serene | Published: August 6, 2010

I’m working on an art project. Well, maybe less of an art project; it’s more of a kick-start-my-creativity project. My goal is simple. Each day I want to create something.

By serene | Published: July 31, 2010

The scene: A mild, mid-70s late July day in the Pacific Northwest. The air is crisp and clean. Smiles are freely shared on the street, as these folks know these days of sunshine and shorts are numbered (and are all chasing those afternoon delights).

1.  Fuck Yeah Daniel Clowes True fact: if you don’t like Daniel Clowes, we cannot be friends. 2. Kayaking Sure, you might look like a d-b, but it’s fun. And if you are super fancy and fashion forward you can bring a beer in a cozy to complete the amazing ensemble of fat suit life-jackets [...]

Busy bee

By serene | Published: March 16, 2010

I’ve been too busy with finals to properly thank you all for lifting my spirits about my hair-tastrophe. (Oh, sleepless nights make me think I’m soooo witty!) Anyway, this is not a proper gift, but I figured I’d share a song with you all that should inspire the fiercest of booty-shakin’.
