Well it looks like 2013 is shaping up to be a super artsy year for me, which is very exciting. I have been creating at a level of intensity that I have not experienced in quite some time, and I’ve been finding time to paint just for myself, which just hadn’t been happening enough.

Along with creating for myself, I have also been doing quite a few design projects on the side for friends. I mentioned my friend’s Pilates studio in the last post, and I have continued doing projects for Breathe.

Another design project I worked on recently was a logo design for RPS Therapeutic Massage. Richard had a photograph and a symbol he wanted to work into the logo and this is what we settled on:

And last but not least, I’m designing a jewelry line for the Restore Love Rock & Runway (designed the logo for the event too), an event in February that will benefit the Collins Center. A little preview below…
