business

i ordered new business cards from moo and they came in today!!!! yay!

there's about 38 different images on the front, with my contact info on the back. i also added the recycling info (the cards are made of 100% recycled post consumer waste, 100% recyclable and biodegradable, FSC & Smartwood certified paper, and manufactured using wind power) because that's very important to me and the city i currently live in.

(note: i just went to moo's website to try and find all the recycle info, to be lazy and not get out one of my cards to find them all. but for some reason i couldn't find all of this information anymore. hmmm... was i just not looking in the right place? or might they have taken this info off their website. because when i was originally designing my cards i took that info word for word from the website. the conspiracy theorist in me wants to think that not all of this info is true and that when they saw my cards come through with all of that info on them, they realized they were falsely advertising it and changed their website. that's probably not what happened but what if?! to the right is the original screen shot i took for reference)

i just had to add share these images. they're beautiful examples of animated .gifs. apparently they don't have to strobe! or have flashing hearts and stars. or look like they just came out of a rave hosted by myspace.  ; )

(blog post where i found them)

from the starz series party down. someone at my part-time catering job suggested i watch this show (since it's about a catering company). it's pretty funny! all the characters are so weird and quirky and lovable.

so i've been thinking about doing an independent contractor thing with catering / serving. i like the jobs at people's houses and i've decided i don't really need a middleman to get those jobs for me. and i definitely don't need them to take over half the profits! i decided i'll try to make a website and see what comes from that. on the website i'm planning on having a page that lists the types of outfits i can wear. what better way to show these off than with one of my illustrations. i plan on using this illustration and adjusting it to look a little more like me. and voila - outfit page done.
