I live in San Francisco.
Thats a sentence I've wanted to say for a very long time, and everything's falling into place. As much as Chico means to me, and as much as I love the handful of people I called friends in Sacramento, THIS is where I'm meant to be.
After two months of staying with extremely generous friends, I'm now settled in a place in Noe Valley.
I've got a wonderful boyfriend. Spending time with him never gets old. He's sort of been my chauffeur in the city, showing me places and introducing me to people that are becoming my friends as well. Hes exponentially bringing the nerd in me out more.
Although I'm starting to feel like I need to be focusing more on creating my own stories and mythologies than enjoying the work of others.
Skeleton Bandit is still in development, and I think this ball will be rolling by the end of the year. I'm trying to learn wordpress as a platform to put my comic into the internet world.
While the job front is less than consistent, I think I'm making it work so far. The Creative Group got me a 1.5 month contract with a political marketing agency that gave me yet a different look into the design world. Seems like each design job I've had isn't the typical kind that school taught us about!
I think thats enough blabbing for now. Here's some songs I've been listening to a lot lately.
Back to job applications!

The Skeleton Bandit
This is the "cover" to my Skeleton Bandit story (stay tuned...)
heavily inspired by tattoos, and the ram's skull idea came from watching a movie called Dead Man starring Johnny Depp!

Optimism
Optimist:
Noun
1. One who usually expects a favorable outcome.
Optimism: I has it.
I feel like really amazing things are about to happen. I've never felt this good in my life. Cross your fingers.
And in the meantime, check out my recently redesigned website! There's also a PDF version of my physical portfolio on the right side of the home page, above the photo of me!
And here's an extremely optimistic song to go with the blog!

Intro to 2010
New Years saw my Vegas plans fall through, but I'm not upset about it because I had an amazing time in Chico with wonderful people. I'll visit Vegas someday when I have more money to blow.
In true B.Red fashion, the last 2 months have been busy and packed full of adventure, which also means I haven't had enough time dedicated to freelance projects and personal projects. They'll get done... eventually.
I paid a price for all my adventuring. The first week of January, I got strep throat, had that for a week, and fought it off for another week, and I've gotten 2 colds since!
And inbetween the colds I've been in SF and Chico, with only a weekend or 2 in Sacramento. Not enough going on to keep me here. After this weekend I WILL have to stay put for a while; I have projects to wrap up and money to not spend. haha.
On one of the trips to SF, I went to SFMoMA with Leslie and Allen. There's quite an impressive collection of works there right now, including this gem.
This was the first time I'd gone to SF after really deciding I wanted to live there. I took in a lot more, my sense of direction there is much better now. The second trip to SF (Feb 18th), I saw Alkaline Trio and Cursive at Regency Center Grand Ballroom. GREAT show, 4th time I've seen Cursive. Added bonus; Rykarda Parasol was playing roughly 2 blocks from the venue, in a bar called Hemlock Tavern. On top of THAT, members from Cursive and Alkaline Trio came to that bar after the show. SO, I got a picture with Tim Kasher and got to tell him how much I appreciate their music. Personal goal crossed off the list.
Judgement Day debuted a video that I assisted in making. I made the Violin Hero logo and packaging for the game box...if you're a fan of anything Adult Swim, you'll appreciate this video!
My good friends Team Shark Week put up some new songs. Click the link to check them out.
Also, the amazing Allen took photos of them, check out his flickr.
