Currently I am the do all and everything artist from logos, to t-shirt design, to car vinyl wraps business cards and anything else design. Things have been really busy work wise, so I have been stressing about too much work, and still learning certain things like color separation for screen printing. So far we've figured it out. Hopefully, as times keep looking up I will become more of a designer, with hiring another person to help with the production and day to day artwork. I have some awesome design ideas, and my boss and I, are on the same page with a lot of ideas, so hopefully in the near future things will get better.

I'll start posting some of the stuff that I've done for my job. Well great talking with ya, and I'll update in another year probably.

I recently did some clothing designs, and we went to a big expo at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City. My designs sold pretty well, and my one design did really well, which is gratifying to see. So onward I go, I realized that I could sell my own designs, but have to find the right market. I realized I live in an extremely popular tourist area, and I should be designing stuff for myself to sell here. There is quite a few places that sell gifts and such, but I feel I could do some new and unique things that aren't out there yet, so I will be working on that. I will post stuff as I work it out.

Other than that I recently got done coaching a 5th and 6th grade basketball team, which we did pretty well, as well as in my church I got asked to be the Scoutmaster, so I am looking forward to some camping trips with the scouts this summer. My wife and I are just working, and looking forward to the summer as well. It is actually pretty nice weather for winter time, but am excited to go up into the hills when it gets warmer.

Well that's about it for an update.
Adios

We kind of caught up on our designs, and I am now in charge of catching us up on the organizational stuff. I am almost finished, so I can get back to designing. I also met with some people with a start up business wanting me to do some illustrations for a computer program so I hope that goes well. Well that's the update, Maybe I'll post some of my photos from my exploration.

An exciting thing with my job is that they have launched the new stores and that means we are going to get busier and busier. Here are the links to the new brands [link] and [link] . Because we are getting so busy we will be hiring another person. That person would be a production artist/graphic artist. The main thing that we need is someone to deal with the production work which is mainly done in illustrator, and the separations for the film to be put on the screens for the screen printing. The second thing would be to produce designs for the t-shirts when your not doing production work. It is a full time job, and comes with benefits. Because the company is growing so much there will be room to move up in the company, and it is a great way to learn on the job. If any of you are interested in the job let me know, and I can forward your stuff on to my Art Director. You also have to be able to work in the U.S and be willing to live here in the Salt Lake area. You have to be pretty good, and have a good understanding of illustrator, photoshop, and other related software. So that's that, if anyone is interested.
On a personal note I would just like to pay my respects to President Gordon B. Hinckley who was the prophet and president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka: the mormons) He passed away a couple days ago at the age of 97. Being a member of the Church myself, he had a great influence on me and my life and was a great leader who lead by example. He was a great witness for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A new President will be called from the existing quorum of the twelve apostles and I know they will be the right person for the job, but we will miss Pres. Hinckley.

My Father and Brother in-law are flying in from their visit to the Dominican Republic and we are picking them up tonight in Vegas. I am going to do some very last minute shopping, and enjoy the relatively warm winter weather. Adios.

This is my fourth week on the job and I'm loving it. I am just drawing and painting at my own little desk here at Del Sol. I have already had my first design printed, and I have two more that I am trying to finish this week. It's a really cool atmosphere, it is all goal oriented and we just watch youtube and listen to music as we work. The crazy thing is we are really busy. Del Sol is launching two whole new stores called Sol Kids, and Cariloha. Sol Kids is a kids only clothing store, they are opening up a couple in the Carribean this January, so we are trying to get all the designs done for the new store. Cariloha is also a new store opening up in the Carribean in the new year. Cariloha is a high end clothing store like a Tommy Bahama's with regular t-shirt designs. We have to have all the designs done for both stores by mid November. So they have asked me to put in a bunch of overtime. With this kind of a job you really don't mind working that much, but sitting at a desk 10-12 hours a day is pretty hard. My wife (Nichole) found out that she got the Manager job for a brand new large apartment community in West Jordan, Utah so I am excited about that not only will my commute to work be 15 minutes instead of an hour to two hours one way, but we get $400 off of rent so hopefully we can get ahead financially. We are planning to have a kid sometime next year, which I am excited to be a dad. Well I'll try and post some of my sketches and ideas from work.
Adios,
Muchachos

So I am excited, the only bummer is that the company I was doing freelance for is in direct competition with my new company so they said I can't do any more work for them. They were cool to work for, unfortunately in freelance it isn't consistent. They did sell a few of my designs to some companies in Florida. My "Gator" Done design was bought by Gator World, so anyone in Florida go to Gator World and check it out. Well I thought I'd just let everyone know what is going on with me, and there it is.
