Some new work has been posted in the past couple of weeks – the most recent being a new tour poster and promotional postcard design for Boston-based rock band The New Collisions (great 80′s new wave stuff…definitely influenced by the likes of Blondie, Missing Persons and the X Ray Spex).

I’ve also been quite focused on painting lately – completing a commissioned piece, and trying to fit in some personal work amidst actual “work” and grad school. So, stay tuned!  

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 added a page where I’ve posted a couple paintings I’m working on…..I’m trying to get over how I hate people to see a painting before it’s done. So, here’s my attempt. Give me feedback!

Finally, after marriage, name-changing, and an extremely over-thought design process – EricaRuch.com is live! Yay! Please make sure to keep checking back as the portfolio will continue to be updated with new work……
