Gran Prix of Gloucester 2008 Poster

Sometimes I get a bit side-tracked when trying to finish a painting……but my focus has served me well recently and “Atomic Liquors” is done!

I finished up a quick side project a couple weeks ago fixing up a pair of crutches for a good friend of ours who got in a bad motorcycle accident nearly a year ago and is, unfortunately, still on crutches. I painted them black with some darts and spark plugs on them – and figured I would post some really bad pictures I took while in the car on the way to deliver them (yay! for bad photos!)

AND in other "Unfortunate Foot" related news one of our Great Danes, Clementine broke her foot badly on Monday playing in the backyard with her brother. She could either be looking at 2-3 months of healing, or possibly even amputation of one of her toes. Poor girl, shes so depressed because she’s not allowed to walk at all other than to go outside to go to the bathroom – and my husband has to carry her everywhere (it’s a good thing he can – because I sure can’t lift a 100lb dog). Think good thoughts for Clementine.

Okay – so we’re already 14 days into 2008…I suppose it is a bit belated at this point. It’s fixin’ (thats the ‘Florida’ southern drawl slowly creeping in and taking it’s horrid hold on my vocabulary) to be a busy year so far!

I’m working on a line of plates for a company Creative Treasures - the details are ‘Top Secret’ at this point but stay tuned in a few months for some further information.

There are websites-a-plenty that are brewing right now…and they’re all going to be awesome!! Some will be utilizing some of my exciting new Coldfusion and Flex skills, and I’m simply dying to get them out there….but, yes, patience is a virtue my friend. And unfortunately in the web development world, killer websites don’t finish themselves overnight, so continue sitting on the edge of your seat.

Also, and in somewhat minor, yet personally exciting news, I made some changes to my website tonight – none of which you will notice….mostly some ActionScript changes that really improve the sites functionality and flow. They’re silly things that I’ve noticed – and likely noone else has…but it’s a sweet personal victory over procrastination! Yay! (and a few items added to the portfolio…perhaps those are things you would notice)Cheers! 

I just completed the illustration and design for a poster to promote the Gran Prix of Gloucester – a big cyclocross event held in Gloucester, Massachusetts every year. Here’s their site http://www.gpgloucester.com I was stealing inspiration from the Gran Prix posters from the 1920′s and 30′s…yet, obviously it has a modern styling
