We went to the zoo for Mother's Day and I got some great family photos and a few animal/nature shots for my portfolio.

Teenage Master Ninja Designer
When I moved earlier this year I met my new neighbors, a family from Ghana. Noble is their boy in junior high and has an interest in design and animation. He has a website nobstarverve.hol.es where he creates educational videos. Check him out and give him some support.
He asked if he could design a logo for me and I said I would love one. He came back a day later with 3 options. He really surprised me with his style and the quality of the logos. My favorite is the middle one below, so he mocked it up on a t-shirt for me.

Keep it up, Noble!
A couple more years of practice and you will be further along than me at that age.
Happy Thanksgiving

I had a great time with my family last weekend. While my wife planned my son's first birthday party I got to play with him all weekend.
Our first garden is looking good!
Happy 4th of July
I had a good 4 day weekend and watched fireworks with the family. My son Ryker loved his first fireworks!
Creative Campaign
Starting tomorrow I will be moving desks. I got promoted from Digital Media Designer to Creative Campaign Artist. I will still be doing digital ads but at a greater scale with more creativity.
I will miss my desk buddy Derek. We have been good friends since high school and we have been working together for about 3 years and we finally got to sit next to each other when Gannett moved from the old Des Moines Register building to Capitol Square a year ago. We are still working on our book on weekends though.
I am excited to start my new position. I feel I will have some strong portfolio pieces coming soon!
