  • Updates on Random

    Today, I must tell one job I am going to stick to another job instead. I went from having little to no options, to having three (if you include the bartending gig as well). Now, I must decide what to do. The place I started working yesterday was awesome. They’re professional, they’re nice, they’re happy,…

  • Damien Jurado

    Tonight, we’re going to see Damien Jurado at South Paw in Park Slope. I hear the opening act is incredible as well. And then on Tuesday we see Kevin Devine again with Stars. It’s our week of music it seems, great music, I might add. Edited to add: I won’t have images of a New…

  • More pictures

    The roll of film posted below was shot as a test roll. I needed to make sure my camera still worked as the last roll of color film I had developed had some weird gradient coming in off the side of each print. (As seen in the image below.) Toby insisted that I shoot a…

  • Selfish Post, Number 4,152

    As many of you already know, Self-Portrait Day was discovered by CSS Beauty yesterday. We didn’t even have to submit the site, it just appeared. When Michael wrote me to tell me that SPD was up there, I have to admit, I smiled. I was pretty pleased with this news. Over the past 3 weeks,…

  • Graphic Design

    Yesterday, the most peculiar thing happened. I was sitting here finishing up the calendar of events for the month of March for the bar I work for when I decided to apply to some full-time and freelance Graphic Design positions. Now, if that wasn’t peculiar enough, the act of searching for a new job, I…

  • SELF-PORTRAIT DAY

    Well, Self-Portrait Day was pushed live last night. The “Submit” section and the “Archive” section are still under construction. We hope to have them up and running entirely by next week. Also, please please please, email (or comment) here about any errors. There was only so much we could catch while designing and building the…

  • Hypocrisy, may I take your order?

    Recently, many of you have asked me about my new moonlighting job. I have gotten questions like, “Michele, what’s up with the bartending gig? Aren’t you a graphic designer?” And I really don’t have a direct answer for you. I think I actually enjoy it, to some degree. I actually enjoy being around people. I…

  • Updates on Self-Portrait Day (Suggestions wanted)

    Toby Joe and I have been pretty busy lately. It’s a good kind of busy, but it’s a busy nonetheless. Between the paying jobs we have had to complete, Toby’s full-time job and my half-assed bartending/waitressing attempt, we’re diligently working to complete Self-Portrait Day, which will be pushed live this Thursday, February 24th at 9…

  • CCLB

    The first time I ever heard of the band Soundgarden, I was 15 and dating a boy who was way too old for me. He was sort of a moron. But I only figured that out in retrospect. Skinny 15 year old girls aren’t the sharpest breed. He used to play me music. And while…

  • P.S.

    Next week’s version of Self-Portrait Day will fall on a Thursday. And unless something remarkable happens, that day will remain on a Thursday. The reason is, is because yours truly picked up a Tuesday night bartending/ waitressing shift here in good old Williamsburg, Brooklyn. That’s right, I’m designer by day, waitress/bartender by night. And while…
