making band flyers is fun too...
...way more fun than having your house broken into, which is what happened earlier this month. Not only was my grandmother's wedding ring stolen, which honestly did make me cry a little bit, but also, my digital camera was stolen. Now, I don't always exhibit the greatest of common sense, and like an idiot, I failed to download all the pictures of things I have made in the past. I good number of images of things that I have created are still living on the little disc somewhere in a pawn shop someplace, along with all the pictures of my trip to Austria and pictures of other important stuff... Worse, still, is that I have made some more stuff and can't take pictures of it at all. Lame thieves...messing things up all the dang time.
My most recent project is making some band flyers for Tin Cup Prophette, my friend Amanda's band. She is awesome and has been playing for a billion years with lots of talented people and finally has her own project and album. She plays accordian and violin and sings her own songs and they are really, really pretty. Seriously, go check out her songs and you will be pleased. Also, one day if you are in a town where she is playing you might get to see the bitchin flyer I made for her. You won't be seeing it here because I can't take a picture of it and it is too big to put on my scanner. This is the first time I have made a band flyer, and I found it difficult. I am not too savvy with the old Photoshop, although I am trying to learn more about it. I ended up doing a lot of paper cut-outs and scanning/copying and layering things. It made it turn out very old-fashioned looking, which is kind of what I was going for. I hope that it is the overall effect instead of it looking very shoddy and amateur. Well, whatever. I hope she likes it. I can try again if she doesn't. At the very least, the idea was neat: Paper cut-out hummingbird feeding from a sillouhette paper cut-out phonograph over wallpaper-looking background and transparent ribbon border. Maybe one day I'll have a camera and will be able to show the people (all zero of them) who may read this.

stealing stuff from other people is stupid, stupid, stupid!!!! Whoever took your Granny's ring has it coming. My guess, a fall down a flight of stairs that will end in a stubbed toe, a paper cut, splinters, a rug burn and a ice cream headache. Yeah! That will show 'em!
