It’s a blog!

Week one is officially over. I’m absolutely exhausted. Since about Thursday afternoon, I’ve shut down mentally. I’ve taken some time to reflect/do nothing. It felt good, but now I’ve got a lot of stuff to do that’s been pushed back. I think this weekend has done me well. I feel better, but I’ve still got a way to go. The last 3 weeks or so have been a mega-marathon. I needed a break. I even got a little homesick, then realized that with as much moving as I’ve done my whole life, and esspecially in the last 6 years, I’m not really sure where home is. Depressing, I know.

There’s supposed to be an official internship introductory meeting this week. That should help make things more official. I’m looking forward to the next ten weeks, and however many years I decide to keep doing this.

Shout out to my homies finishing up Portfolio Center this week. Rock it.

It’s been nearly 2 weeks since I decided to move to Boulder, CO and accept an internship with Crispin Porter + Bugosky. Since then, I’ve finished my internship at Armchair Media, I’ve sold off most of my possesions, and left ATL behind.

I hit the road around noon on Friday, and spent a day at my mom’s house in Texas. I left Sunday at 9 in the morning, and reached Denver at about 10 at night. I’ve spent most of the day today trying to find a place to live.

I’m a bit tired, but this really feels like the first chance I’ve had to stop in a while. And honestly, I’m starting to wonder what I’ve gotten myself into. I’m sure it will be better in the morning. Tomorrow. 10am. For now, I’ll take it easy, and I’ll be posting some photos on flickr. Cool stuff from some of the most beautiful places in this country, and also Kansas. I’ll hopefully be settled in by wednesday, but for now, it’s time to rest up.

I’ve made it to Boulder in one piece, now I just have to find a place to live. Any ideas?

It’s been a little hectic this quarter, my 8th quarter at Portfolio Center. I’ve been buried deep in work, and hadn’t had much excitement or room to breathe.

About two weeks ago, P.C. was asking to submit mini-books. I already had one put together from back in the day (about 5 months ago) when Mason asked me to put one together. The book came in handy when I had two offers in one week, taking the internship with the brilliant people at Armchair Media.

I sent in the book, and about a week later, I got a call from Crispin Porter + Bugolsky. They want me to spend 3 months in Boulder, Colorado for an internship. They were impressed with my interactive work. I guess Big Smelly Robot won them over, though that project is far from done. They also said that Hank said some good things about me. Who would have thought?

The catch: Not only will I be staying around P.C. an extra quarter (in spirit), I have to start in about a week and a half. My last day at Armchair is Thursday, and I’m leaving for Colorado Friday morning, with a brief stop in Texas. (It adds about 5 hours on to my time on the road, but I have to see the person that made this all possible.)

So, over the next few weeks, I will be chronicling my strange journey across three time-zones and tons of cows on the side of the road.

Saltworks Gallery launched a new website today. The aim was to create a visual identity system that would give the gallery more of a voice in the international art scene. The site itself is a work in process, but it’s a step in the right direction.
