Blues, Brews & BBQ
Had a lovely evening last night rocking to the tunes of Contagious Blues at the Blues, Brews & BBQ festival in beautiful downtown Charlotte. It was quite an unique event with no boundaries of age or race, so it was a pretty cool event. Everyone loves the Blues, so it was not an unusual sight to see a toddler shaking their booty to the jams. Hope to make next years entire event, instead of having to work & missing out on other talented musicians. The festival continues on today.

Mom & Dad
Swimming was beautiful, could not have asked for better weather. Water seemed a little bit cooler, must be because of the cooler evenings. It's been nice sleeping with the windows open.
Mom & Ed
Starting on the newest project of Graphic Realizm®, a portrait of my mom & her (then) new husband Ed, whom I call my father. Debating on whether to continue creating in Illustrator, or do the normal hand-drawn black & white. Hand-drawing is so much faster, so all I've done in Illustrator may end up in the waist bin.

Typos...
Found a glaring style typo on my CD back jacket... it's been fixed. The next batch will show the correction.

Finalized my Electronic Portfolio.... time to get marketing myself. It's back into the graphics world again, hopefully, soon if not sooner!!!!!! The back jacket is now on the inside back of front, until I can locate jackets where I can insert art sandwiched between plexiglass back. Last changes are listed on this art... no more changes.

CD Jacket Redesign
Changed the CD Jacket art. Amber critiqued for me & said it seemed too dark & hard to read. She was right. Thank you, Amber!
Final Red-Tail Hawk Illustration
Created a few Red-Tail Hawks & still have to go with the most simple black & white with a little color for the beak & the eye. Both are so much of the spirit of the hawk, that they are the only things I feel necessary to accentuate.
