I'm not a fan of long-winded paragraphs, so here are the occurrences of note from 2012, in bullets:
- got a design job/left claims job behind
- dropped out of ad school
- won an Andy award with this guy
- moved to a new apartment (and ended up sacrificing a dishwasher for a balcony)
- welcomed two new nieces into our family (:
- picked up playing piano again
- initiated a search for my birth family (playing the waiting game now)
- went to my first roller derby match! (so much fun!)
- went on my first music video shoot
- traveled to Fargo to be in a friend's wedding
- ate White Castle for the first (and last) time
- made my first book since taking a bookmaking class in college
- got my first paid gig to illustrate
- first discovered and watched all of Six Feet Under
I am a little ashamed to say that my brain is so fuzzy about some things that I had to look at my Facebook timeline to remember 2012. Overall, it was a very productive year. Here's hoping that 2013 will be just as awesome. It's certainly off to a good start. I'm hoping that this year brings more art + design-related opportunities.
