SFC, 72 Hour Weeks & A Move

Updates, updates, updates. This is the part I failed terribly at with my last site, so in an attempt at repentance, here's the latest art news in my life.


For the past month I've been working at a graphic design firm in downtown Toledo called SFC. It's a company with a fortune 500 client list, and I'd consider it the Swiss Army Knife of the graphics community. The things they can do, print on, and are pioneering are amazing, and send a boy with a never-ending imagination like me into a tizzy just thinking about the possibilities of what I could do if I had free reign of their equipment. Fortunately for them, they've kept me very well guarded during my month stint,  keeping me in a very dimly lit room that's nearly sound proof, which I like to call the "Bat Cave." (Yes, I'm a geek in case you hadn't noticed) Their printers are too big to fit in my car anyway, so there's no sneaking them home either. (Actually, there are better odds of fitting my car through one of their printers than vise-versa. I could strap wheels on one of their ink cartridges and drive it home.)


I was brought in to do some basic InDesign work, and have been blessed with opportunity after opportunity to display lots of the talents, training, and experiences God has given me over the years, helping me make a case for why I would fit nicely in a place where versatility is a must. It's a been a lot of fun, and I'm hoping it doesn't end any time soon. (So far I'm on week 6 of a projected 2, so that's a good start)


The one downside is that I'm still working my other two jobs, I moved, and the usual responsibilities haven't lessoned, so my project with St. James has been postponed (big thanks to their patience), as have my next iPhone App and my children's book. But, if I can land this job full-time, the day for those projects and many others to see the light of day will be here before we know it. That is, if I survive this current sleep schedule of nearly nothing. (What do pillows feel like again?)


And there you go. A full update, complete with at least two jokes and hopefully at least one sentence of relevance. That should keep you satisfied for a while. And if not, send me a donation of 25k and I'll write you hourly updates. Otherwise, tough cookies.
