SOOO happy to announce that I am the official first place winner in the 2014 Campaign for Student Success at SBCC for the Show Us Your Love poster contest!! Thank you to everyone who made this happen! And thank you to the committee for the $ 1,000 prize! YAY!
Coachella 2014
Finally getting around to posting these pics almost a year later! I had such a great time this past Coachella that I could not not share my photos. As usual, I died my hair pink again and traveled with an amazing group of friends. We rented a house this time (last time we stayed at the Vestal Village) that was on the golf course very close by. That is the way to go! I have to say, all the acts we saw in 2014 were beyond amazing including Elle Golding, Muse, Kid Cudi, The Glitch Mob, AFI, Queens of the Stoneage, Calvin Harris, Arcade Fire, Lana Del Ray and much much more. Not sure if I am going to make it this year, but I am sure I will circle back in 2016. Only time will tell and I know I will be back sooner than later.
Stoked!
Show Us Your Love
Santa Barbara City College held their annual "Show Us Your Love" poster contest for the SBCC Foundation for their 2014 Campaign for Student Success and I entered the following piece that I named Cascarones. The poster is inspired by the SBCC mascot, the Vaquero (which was a requirement to include), celebration, and community spirit hence the vintage Old Spanish Days Fiesta theme. The winner is announced on April 4, wish me luck!

Entering into the professional creative world, I discovered this website called 99u. Here is a video from the site. I hope you enjoy it.
Tina Seelig: The 6 Characteristics of Truly Creative People from 99U on Vimeo.
Determined not to just write just another book on creativity, Stanford professor Tina Seelig painstakingly researched what makes good ideas spring forward. The result is her "innovation engine," a special mix of six characteristics like attitude, resources and environment.
But the special concoction of forces that makes our ideas come to life is nothing with out the willingness to fail. “Most call it failure, but we scientists just call it data,” she says. The most creative organizations and people embrace experimentation to get the needed data to determine they’re on to something.
"Workers are puzzle builders, stuck when missing a piece," she says. Truly creative people "are quilt makers — they can fit anything together."
