I'm going to write it here so it has to happen: I will blog more.

I've even taken specific photos on purpose just for the sake of blogging. And I haven't done it. But those photos still exist and belated posts are better than nonexistent ones. So here I am, and I've had so many blog worthy moments in the past few months that I will be blogging this week to catch up.

First things first: I graduated college! I'll miss the heck out of Massart and all the amazing things it brought to my life, but I am so excited about being a college graduate and getting started in the big world. It poured up all morning until we all walked out to our seats, so it was a bit crazy. We almost weren't allowed to walk due to the rain but we obviously protested until they let us.

I found my first 4 leaf clover a week before I graduated at my boyfriend Tom's graduation. That was a good start to the end.

Since I graduated, I went to Israel, went to NYC for the National Stationary Show & Surtex, have had my artwork begin selling at Target, turned 22, chopped off about 5 inches of hair, had a 5 year anniversary with my boyfriend Tom, and so many more little exciting moments. I can't wait to share them all.

Here's a start to something I will be better at. -b

Coming up with just a few short months until the end of my last year at MassArt, I can say that the studio space is what I'll miss most. I love having a place to work at school and having so many illustration & graphic design students around is pretty awesome & inspiring. Its not anything special, but this is my studio space.

Its always a little bit of a mess but I guess that's what its like being an art student. Its changing constantly with new projects, but here you can see my Nursery Rhyme Illustrations and two of my Degree Project tunnel books.

I also am forever swooning over my prints & postcards you can see on the left side by Jaime Zollars, Ambird, Kristen Uroda, Nick Sullivan, & a very awesome little panoramic drawing of houses in Italy that my friend brought me back from a street artist!

I mean really though, talk about a killer view. Definitely will miss this view while I work.

& I'll of course miss my lovely seniors in illustration who are a constant inspiration.
