I am working on my web site. No, really I am.

It's difficult balancing work, school, health issues and life in general. Sometimes I think I've bitten off more than I can chew. Other times I think, swallow it and get it over with.

Until I get my website working, here are some of my samples. I know that some of them you've seen, others you haven't. I am trying to get my work out there. Surprisingly, of all the types of things I've done, my favorite is family photos. I really liked it and would like to do some more of that.

I've designed some t-shirts for girls, hoping to promote girl power. I am not knockin' guys around because...well, let's face, we need them around. But girls need some positive reinforcement. A co-worker was designing t-shirt logos for college kids. I approached him with my ideas but he wants only 1 or 2 color simple designs. Mine are too complex for him.

I really liked designing these for girls, inspiring them that you can do whatever you want. I remember when I was a kid, there were such things as male jobs and female jobs. If I had a daughter I would want her to know she is empowered to do anything. I want young girls and women to know its okay to be a girl and silly, liking shiny, frilly things. But I want them to also know its important to be strong, to be real and not fall into what society or their so-called friends think they should be.

(This design is based on a photograph my best friend, Teri, took of her daughter and friends. Her daughter is in the middle, but I've altered the image so much you can't tell who is who. I just wanted everyone to know that Rachel is in this picture.)

Until next time.
