Wordpress is a powerful tool ladies and gentlemen. Anyways I will have a portfolio page for my photography as well as my design work.

Monday night we won an Silver Award at The One Show in NYC! Bradford just got back this morning with one of the silver pencil… my comes in next week : ) I’ve never heard of The One Show, because I’m a newibee but this is a global competition we went up against large design agencies especially out of Japan, which they won most of the awards. They just so awesome like that but only 30 pencils were given.

He’s not only a great designer but a great guy. One of the questions raised last night was about “$” and I love what his response was, “There’s not a lot of money to be made in poster design. You don’t do it to make money, you do it because you love it.”

That’s what it comes down to. I know the garage man makes more money than I do but I just love what I do and can’t see myself doing anything else. Dirk Fowler’s work inspirited me to get better and continue to do what I’m doing.

Here’s one of the piece he presented last night, which my jaw dropped when I saw it (which Lydia can attest to). Very Simple! That’s what I love about it.
