SuperArtGirl goes to College....

Thought I'd make a little update here on how college is going. It's been GOOD. I'm learning a lot, getting awesome marks and the great thing about it that I'm liking the most is that it's getting me thinking out of the box creatively again. What's not to love about that? I've been in a bit of a slump creatively lately, or maybe I've just been feeling lazy! Regardless, this has me doodling and trying new things in the fabulous applications that are in the Adobe Creative Suite.

Right now I'm in Illustrator (just finished Flash). I've already been using this program for some logos and things but am looking forward to learning some new tools and different ways to do things. The above image is what I made in class today. I'm currently using it as my desktop image. Feel free to use it too! :)

Happy Holidays from mulBerryLand!

The course I'm taking at college right now is Adobe Flash.

We've been learning the basics of animation, so here is a

little something I put together with my new found knowledge!

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday season :)

SuperArtGirl is rockin' InFocus magazine!

There is something to be said about what you think becomes your reality. I had been wanting to be in our local InFocus magazine for about a year. I love this magazine, it's free and can be found at the local farm stand, Extra Foods, Edible Island and other great places in the Comox Valley. I always pick one up when I see a new one out. So when we had our annual mulBerryLand art & garden show this summer and writer, Terri Perrin attended the show and told me she would love to write an article on me for InFocus, I was downright giddy!

She did such a fabulous job. And this month it's out! You can read the article by following this link:

College girl!

The recent news in my life is that I'm going to College! I'm taking the Digital Design for Print & Web Diploma program at Excel Career College. I'm super excited about this life change! I've been really wanting to learn the Adobe Creative Suite, and now I have the chance.

I'm feeling very blessed with this new opportunity for learning.

My art in a musical

Tonight TheBoy and I went to see the musical "Common Ground" written by Breanne Larson & Joey Clarkson. My artwork along with the artwork of Sofie Skapski was part of the set as the scene was set in a coffee shop. The girls completely took me off guard when they announced to the audience that there was a special guest in the audience - turned out it was me! *blush*

It was an interactive set where at intermission you could go up and order drinks & treats yourself, how fun is that? Oh and before the play began we had noticed a nice comfy loveseat as part of the seating in the audience. Before the play began they said to pick a number between 1 & 40 and whoever guessed the correct number could enjoy the show from the comfy couch. Nico yelled out 17 and that was the number - score!

Here we are enjoying our Ellen Degeneres style seating...

Our friend's son was also in the play, he was dressed up in a Spiderman outfit. He was SO good, not to mention cute and funny.

The play overall was just incredible. The story, the songs, the actors...I am just blown away by the amazing talent we have here.
