What do I do when I’m not designing?
Well, chances are its still something creative! I often draw, ok, do a lot of drawing. Or edit movies for fun.
When I’m not working on a website I just must do something creative. Whether its drawing or something else… it has to be a challenge or I lose interest fast! Even my kids keep me on my toes! Where do they get the energy?! … if I had half that energy…
So in this holiday weekend post I thought I’d lighten it up and share of of my “free time” creations with you.
First… here are a few drawings I did awhile ago. Ok, a long while ago, 6years? I found them the other day in the bottom of a box and scanned them in. These are my two oldest children when they were really little.
And I did say edit movies right? Definitely just a hobby but sometimes its fun to play around! Click the video image above and you’ll be directed to the video on YouTube.
So there you have it. No, I’m not creating works of art that will be hanging in the Louvre some day, but it is still fun! Read More…
