"off with their heads!"

so i had told my mom i would make a christmas Moxie, and that didn't happen. so, for the next holiday, she was gonna be glam' for my 22nd birthday which is coming up. but instead, something a lil' more fun. and for everyone, some valentine's day fun. its been a work in progress, over the last week - working here and there, but brought to you by I've Gone Graphic, is Moxie as "The Queen of Hearts." you are more than welcome to download and print her out to make your own festive valentine's desk buddy. enjoy.



print, cut out w/ x-xacto, score w/ bone folder and glue.
and then you have a finished queen just like mine.

when it rains it pours.

my source of inspiration. so new project in the works. an edition of 10 books with a 2 week time frame. details: you must use a label from a food or beverage, use all the contents of the label, but you can use it as a place to start. also the books can be no larger then 5.5inch x 5.5inch. it sounds like a lot but i am very excited about this project. check back for updates. i hope to put up some pics of the progress soon.

my first and only teeny bopper moment in my life.

just as a follow up on my perez-ness. yes he came to cal poly. it was fabulous and so much fun. he talked about himself and what he has done in life and how he got to where he is now. don't worry he still talked gossip. got my picture w/ the man of the hour, although sadly it wasn't that great, because my camera sucks and its time to get a new one after tonight's performance. my fun moments.

1. Perez signed my poster.
2. He loved the buttons and said so in front of the whole crowd of like 800+ people, before he knew who made them.
3. The best moment though.... Seeing the 500 buttons I designed being worn by almost everybody. First time I have seen so many people with something I designed. so, so, sooo cool to me. now if only some how, he gave props on his blog. how cool would that be especially since he gets 7-8 Million hits a day!?!

my guilty pleasure.

soo if you are in San Luis Obispo, CA today... Thursday 1/24/08 come enjoy what my little secret reading PEREZ.
yes good ole' PEREZ HILTON will be in SLO and if you know me, I would never miss this event, plus i designed the marketing materials. don't you worry you will hear about it most likely shortly after and hopefully i will have a picture with the man of the hour. haha.

the secret is out.

so i am gonna blab now.
i bought a letterpress to go with the 27 typefaces i received for christmas. it is a glorious little machine and i cant wait to ink up and take it for another test drive. the first run was an experience, it isn't easy as you can see my ink isn't evenly distributed. check back for more prints and the adventures me and "tink tink" (yes, my little kelsey press already has a name) go through over the next few months.

welcome to my fabulous collection of art supplies "tink tink"

a fresh 2008.

hello all.
happy 2008.

i have been gone for a while now, but guess what? i am back and ready to get my crafty-ness and flashy-ness on this new quarter at CP. be on the watch for fun posts of progress in book arts, illustration, and FLASH. this is my quarter i hope to really push the limits and really see in what new ways i can use my graphic design skills. check back soon and look for a post on monday of my fabulous new purchase that i can't wait to use. i've already blabbed on and on about it in the non-digital world.

can you guess what it is?

Moxie - The Readymech

its been a long time, but remember my "readymech" i talked about a long long time ago, well she is finally up to be looked at. I was cleaning up the computer and final came across the file. hope you'll enjoy and just as a recap. we had to make flat templets that could be cut out and made into a character or creature. mine was inspired by my friend Lauren who is off in Italy for the year, but it later evolved into me w/ a twist. i will get around to posting my package project soon i need to redo some of the photos, but maybe ill give a sneak peak of what all the printed stuff looks like if i get time tonight.

p.s. the photo of moxie all together is bad, still need to put her actually in a light tent and have a shoot with her the right way.
