It's really amazing... what a full night's sleep can do for you!
As I am sure you all suspected, this last couple of weeks have been utterly hellish!
In the middle of working on the D*C program book, pocket program, the lithograph, the badges (1 and 4 day), the name plates for the awards, backstage passes, potty passes for Masq, Dawn and the new costuming contest, Dead Dog tickets, t-shirts, programming, assigning signings/readings to guests, a book (580 pages!) for Emory, ads and a website for a new convention, and who knows what else I am forgetting to list, I was asked by the company who prints D*C's badges and program book if I was busy...
Erm... yea. Talk to me in two weeks, then I will do all the jobs you want.
I am really excited to be getting so many new clients though! Besides Emory and the printing company, I have also been signed on by a new comics convention in Atlanta, AND Netherworld!! Starting after D*C all the Netherworld ads you see will be done by me! I really am completely thrilled to be working with them!
So, it looks like I just might be able to support myself as a freelance graphic designer after all. :)
In other news, I did in fact purchase my precious, shiny, wee little Sony UX Micro Computer! It has been such a wonderfully helpful thing! I was actually REMOTE PROOFING the program book for Dragon*Con in my car with it! It has also helped me get out of traffic jams, and around flooded streets, plus get my email where ever I am. It has really freed me from feeling that I have to be tied down to my regular laptop. Which I still love, and I love my desktop too, but the ultra portability of the UX has really allowed me to stay sane this year. Just knowing I can go out to have dinner and still check on anything important has been completely liberating. Plus, it's just super cool! Oh, and I have to say everywhere I have ever been, taking it out is like dropping raw meat into a hungry piranha tank! If you want to meet people, your UX will certainly draw some attention.
In any case, all the massive projects (the program book, pocket program, and Emory book) are all either being printed, or back to the client to be edited. I have plenty to do this weekend, but the weight of the world isn't on me like it has been for the last couple of weeks. And last night, I was able to go to bed at 11 PM, and then I slept for an entire eight hours - something I haven't done in probably a month! It was glorious!
Oh, and I was given a copy of that massive book I did over the summer for Emory. It really looks good, and I have to say, I had forgotten just how cool I think it is when I see something that I worked so hard on physically printed. I suppose it is why I do work so hard - I completely love seeing my work printed - is that conceited?
Now, off to breakfast!
