Video Art

This is one of the most beautiful videos I have seen in a long time. It is from Israeli artist, Oren Lavie. It is simply amazing and perfectly illustrates how new technology can help create timeless art.

Valentine's Day Pie

Travis and I decided to have a very low key Valentine's Day this year. His one request was that I make him my signature cherry pie. It looks lovely and tastes even better. I wonder what I can make for St. Patty's Day...

The Hot Cookie

I am helping my friend launch her cookie and coffee cafe called "The Hot Cookie." We are going to start out by selling our delicious artisan cookies wholesale to restaurants and gourmet grocery stores around Indianapolis, as well as, a number of farmers' markets this summer. Then in the fall we are going to open the retail cafe on Mass Ave. in Indianapolis. The idea behind the business is to start with 5 perfected doughs to which customers can then add mix-ins and the cookie is then baked for them on the spot. There will also be a selection of rotating house specialty cookies available daily, as well as, specially imported teas and coffees. I am helping with the business plan, marketing, and branding of this fin establishment. More information to come, but this is the logo.

Cranberry and White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I am helping my friend open a cookie and coffee cafe here in Indy. I am doing all the branding and marketing for the company and in the spirit of baking cookies decided to try out a recipe I have been wanting to make for awhile. On Sunday I made these cranberry and white chocolate chip cookies. They are chunky and chewy and totally delicious! The secret ingredient I used was Jamaican rum I got on my honeymoon instead of vanilla. It gives the cookies a little kick and makes them taste special. Yummy!

Business Card

I have a couple of business meetings coming up. Since it seems that I am more likely to be working as a freelancer these days I decided I should probably make some personal business cards to pass around to potential clients. What do you think?

Job Search

I have not posted in awhile because I have had the always fun opportunity of looking for a job. Woohoo. The job I initially took when moving to Indianapolis did not turn out to be what I was looking for so I quit the first of the year. I am now searching for art direction/graphic design work in this hellish economy. At least I know more people here now than I did when I lived in Muncie. I also know more about the type of job I want and questions to ask a potential employer. At this stage in my life and career it is just as important for me to like an employer as it is for them to like me. I really want to find a place where I belong where I can stay for awhile and accomplish some great things. If you know where to find that let me know.
