This past week has been quite good. I told you that Caleb and I have a band called “Sailor Beware”, but I didn’t tell you we have another band called “Big Tree Little Tree”. Big tree little tree is for our songs we write that are too funny and weird for sailor beware. It just so happened that we had an opportunity to write one of those funny songs. My sisters friend Stacy got dumped by her boy friend (poor girl) so we decided to write a song called “Stacy” to try and cheer her up. We made sure to make it extra cheesy and cliche and hilarious. Then we went and sang it to her. I think she took it more serious than we meant it but still… she really liked it. Then we recorded it for fun. It’s not a very good quality recording because we have zero equipment but if you want, you can hear it HERE.
Following the excitement of having a new song, I decided to design a poster for big tree little tree. It turned out pretty cool. We are pleased.
Last night my dear friend Charlotte told me she has been sick and was knitting so much she decided to make an online boutique. I asked if she needed any design work done and sure enough she did. She’s starting it out on a site where she can’t control how it looks so much except for a little banner at the top. So I made her a little banner and it was officially my first graphic design job. She said if it does well there she will get her own web site and I can do some design work on there for her. As soon as she gets the store set up I will definitely put a link on here to her store. After five drafts of the banner design, I think we came up with this one.
At least, that might be it. She liked them all equally so maybe she will use a different one. They are all similar. So if anyone needs any design work done you can let me know! I would be glad to build up a portfolio of design too.
GET WELL SOON CHARLIE!
