It's a lovely day today, nice warm weather and I have been fortunate enough to get outside and enjoy it. I got to sleep in a little this morning, made breakfast and then went to Centennial park with my boyfriend for a nice walk to enjoy the day. Today is one of those days where life seems effortless and there are no reasons to be unhappy. I've been working on a freelance project this afternoon, a logo for a a comic book store that operates online. Last week I went to a book store than was nearby to look at comics since I am personally not familiar with them other than knowing the popular superheroes, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and so on. But I was looking at all the books and sketching in the little coffee shop inside the book store when I guy approaches me and points to one of the books I am looking at, and said, "My work is in that book," and from there I learned he was a comic artist working for DC Comics and who graduated from SCAD. He told me a lot about comics and the opportunities he had been given. He showed me other artist's work and even pictures of his wife and son. It was one of those chance meetings where you meet someone new and have a really nice, genuine conversation, and this one was particularly helpful for me in developing ideas for my logo project. I love meeting other creatives who are open, and easy to talk to. It's just so nice.
Anyways, I'm going to head outdoors again, this day is just too pretty.
