Hi Cassandra!
The conference was fantastic for BIDS! We received exposure and learned more about what's needed to continue our goal of partnering with ASID and others. The more we grow in membership, the more voice we'll have in the industry...we hope everyone on this site supports this vision. The ASID staff were excellent to us and soon, we'll have photos and maybe our videos uploaded.

Thanks for the support and we'll talk soon! Look out for the photos...

The job search is rough! Of course everyone wants experience...it's driving me crazy! Have you had the opportunity to intern anywhere?

Hi Cassandra! I graduated from GSU this past December. I loved my program! It was tough and very competitive. My studio began with 18, only 11 completed. But it was an excellent learning experience. The program is accredited by CIDA and NASAD, which were my main reasons for going. I am currently in the "after-graduation-career-seeking" phase. It's tough, but I'm not giving up. How is your last semester finishing up? What projects are you working on?

Hello Cassandra,
Thanks for your friendship. I'm looking forward to working with you.

Best regards,
Everett

The Artwork of Rex Ray




Recently I came across the artwork of Rex Ray - a graphic designer and artist based in San Fransisco, CA who creates the most lovely pieces using collage on wood with resin. I have to admit that I was never a big fan of collage, but his pieces are so modern and fun and remind me very much of the work by artist Jenn Ski, whom I also adore.
