She just vanished into a thick mist of change.

The title of this post (and also the description of this blog) is a quote from one of my favorite artist, Bright Eyes. The song is called Hot Knives. The first time I listened to the album, this line jumped out at me. I played this song over and over and over again. This is, by far, one of my most favorite quotes. It reminds me that we can always change, that we are never stuck. Our old-self can disappear and a new-self can emerge. She just vanished into a thick mist of change. I have wished so many times that I could see this actually happen. One girl walks into a fog and it swallows her up, and sometime later, maybe even a long time later, she re-emerges as someone completely changed and new. In my head, it's a beautiful picture.
I guess the reason I have latched onto this line is because of my constant desire for change. In many ways, I wish I could be that girl that gets swallowed in the fog. I don't really feel like going into the reasons for wanting that, but just think about it for yourself. If we all the chance to just disappear for a little while, where no one could see us and we didn't have to explain anything and we could change things about ourselves-- we would all come out as very different people. Hopefully, as better versions of ourselves.
Whew. Deep. (Note sarcasm.)
The past few days I have really been determined in my designing efforts to get my act together, get a stellar portfolio together and FIND. A. JOB. I've pretty much decided I'm not going to limit myself- the whole country is up for review. This girl is willing to relocate. More details on that to come (hopefully, fingers crossed, knock on wood, livin' on a prayer, etc.).
Here are a few designs I've worked on in the past. Two logos with collateral (letterhead, envelopes, business cards) and a poster. The poster is a little weird, but actually one of my favorite pieces.
Take a closer look at the world. You may be missing it.
Right now I'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife and 1 Peter. I highly recommend the later.
Now off to bed! Goodnight!!!
