The long weekend is now past me and it’s time to get back to the grind. I feel I could really use a vacation because I’ve got quite a bit going on outside of work that’s keeping me from being as focused as I usually am. Mine and Kim’s wedding is only 25 days away and things are getting hectic. It’s hard to stay inspired through all of it. But here’s my review of what I got accomplished last week:
- Arsenal 2.0 - A few more tasks were completed and a new one is started. Estimated to be done with CS Cart dev on Sept. 11 - but troubleshooting and cleaning up their design will follow.
- I set up a store on http://gomedia.deckpeck.com and will encourage the staff to submit their designs to the store.
- Did some new sketches for a hat line of one of our clients. Some mean looking monster truck slinging mud everywhere. The client wants us to do what we want, but he has extremely long descriptions of what he wants. I anticipate this will be tougher than it sounds.
- Twitter interview with Vectips on Wednesday and continued with the twitter design help thing
- Had meetings about gomedia.us V5.0 - entering the mockup phase for our new portfolio site. It’s fun.
- GoMediaZine made a few blog posts about top creative wordpress themes as well as got included in a handful more CSS Galleries.
- Fest 7 site went up with Go Media sponsorship logo and tshirt for sale
- We are working on converting all our vector packs to Photoshop Brushes and will be releasing those tomorrow (wednesday).
- Also worked on some shirts for Harley-Davidson and the Killers. Not sure if things got approved or not.
So yeah, that was last week. You’ll notice the blog posts have been slower. I feel like I’m overwhelmed with stuff, but when I look at my plate, there’s not a whole lot going on. I’ll need a few weeks to get myself back on track. Perhaps after my Honeymoon I’ll be more inspired. This happens from time to time. Fortunately, I have my fellow designers to pick up my slack.

@Lance, yeah I do spend about 3 hours a day or more in my email. It’s also hard to stay focused when I am constantly deleting spam messages and writing back to people the minute the write me. People say to close down email and IM and Twitter if you want to stay focused. Maybe I’ll do that for a day or two.

Do what you need, we all love you’re work and all you’re posts but everybody needs a rest, plus weddings are mad, dad was the best man at one a few weeks ago and man was he stressed. So go enjoy yourself for a few weeks, we’ll miss you but when you’re back it’ll be savage,
absence makes the designs kick more ass, and you can quote me on that

I agree, my wedding is 5 days away, and it gets pretty hectic and hard to stay focused. I just finished making my groomsmen gifts so at least I feel productive today, even if it wasn’t necessarily “work.”

I just have to say the Fest 7 site is for my Alma Mater! It looks great! I’m not surprised they are still doing crazy fun things like this! Go GATORS!
