late...

It seems I got behind on my blog posts in May, so to make up for that I will post a lot more in June. Tomorrow I begin my Fine Art Book Making class at 8:30 am. I was trying to go to sleep early but my mind is active tonight, as it so often is. I've been working on a few freelance projects for friends who have their own businesses/projects. Last week I completed a business card for Eric Night Films. They are going to the Staten Island Film Festival this coming weekend because their short film "The Bell & the Hammer" was accepted. It was written, directed and produced by Julian Vaca. The cinematography was done by Allen Laseter and also came to life through the hard work of the other ENF guys, Jayson Wall, Hart Hoppe, Jourdan Lees, and Nick Rau (as well as other film students in the production I class this past fall). This is a great accomplishment for them as filmmakers and also for the Watkins Film School to have students who are already getting films into festivals when these guys are only halfway through the program. You can watch the film on their website, www.ericnightfilms.com.
Also, I've been working on a logo for a friend who sells comic books online (he makes serious money doing it, he supports himself and his wife...I wonder if I could do something like that to bring in the bucks?). He's been wanting a logo and eventually a website. He's given me free reign on the logo, which is exciting but also a bit nerve racking. Sometimes it's hard to come up with ideas without any restrictions or boundaries. But I'm working on that and trying to treat it as a blessing. I sketched out some ideas tonight and was happy with what I came up with. But now my mind won't stop thinking and brainstorming even though I really want it to. I don't want to feel tired tomorrow. But it may take me awhile to get into a regular sleeping schedule again...
For tonight, I may as well jot down my ideas and let my brain win the fight tonight. Body, you lose. And tomorrow morning you will feel it.
