I couldn't sleep last night, so I got up and read a bit more about crowdfunding, and sketched ideas for a new site. I have, embarrassingly enough, not updated my site since I graduated from NAU in 2004. That's over 6 years, freelancing full time for more than half that time.

It's become rather silly.

So, anyway, I thought of what I wanted to do vs. what I thought people might want, and I am going to try doing what I think is cute and fun and inventive and enjoyable. Let me back up. Yesterday, I was just in the mood to soak up visual experiences, so I watched "Beautiful Losers" after "Helvetica". It was pretty great. A bunch of people did art, just because they wanted to, and did what they wanted, not what they thought people might like, and they were pretty wildly successful. I loved the work of the guy who did the Pepsi ads, with all the colorful animation. Fantastic stuff. He did that because he likes doing it. Aha!

Redesign, here we come, sketchbook and pencils in one hand, and "Don't Make Me Think" in the other. Wait, I won't do this without a deadline. Sketches by the 17th, digital mockups by the 22nd, something working by the end of the month, full redesign complete by October 15. That gives me enough time to do well and not enough to get bored and forget about it.

The other thing I am going to commit to is taking more photos. I have a great camera. Time to put it to use.
