So, I have started this here blog to get the word out there about, well, me I suppose. I just wrapped up yet another eventful semester at VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) and though it was my last I still feel like I've got some learning left in me. My final portfolio review was this past Friday and I'm glad it's over. There's nothing worse than working your ass off on a project just to have someone tell you what's wrong with it. Seriously, there's always something wrong with it and it could ALWAYS be "massaged". By the way, I was studying Mass Communications with a concentration in creative advertising-this henceforth shall be referred to as creative insADity.
While embarking on this creative insadity, I realized that I had not yet seen everything in the world I needed to see. Oh no, there are far more boundaries that I have yet to even see in my horizon. I wanted to be an art director at first, they're the ones that make it all pretty and give you aesthetically pleasing ways of selling you things you may want, but really don't need. Then, after being bitched at more than I ever thought possible, I wanted to be a copywriter. I figured since my copy was always approved and always seemed to get a chuckle out of my creative director that it was where I needed to be.
Don't get me wrong, I still love to make pretty things, I'm just not at the point in my life where I feel like having someone bark at me because they don't like it. I'm a sappy artist at heart-I make things that I like, if you don't like it...well I don't need to tell you the rest, you can draw your own conclusions. Besides, writing is fun, look, I'm writing right now.
I'm also working on my book, I can't tell you what it's about nor can I tell you the format. I don't even know what it's going to end up being, I just know that I've got one hell of a story to tell. Everyone has their story, but mine is just better. Ha.
Now that I've either offended you or just pissed you off, I'm signing off for now. Expect my actual portfolio to be posted in the next month, I'd love for you to check it out. Also, I'm not an asshole, I'm actually really nice and smile a lot and joke even more. There's nothing worse than a tight ass, so loosen up and prepare yourself for a little fun.
