Since people have asked…

Yesterday I posted that next week is my last at my current job. It is! Of course, the obvious question is, “alright, well what next?!” and here is what I’ve got so far: NOTHING!

I’m just kidding (lols), but I am looking forward to taking a little time to myself. I’ve never not had school or work before, and I’m hoping to use the entire month of March for the following:

  • Reorganize my work and portfolio (including documenting a lot of work that I’ve never put online or photographed before) and of course change my resume and all that.
  • Create some zines! I have a few zine ideas floating around my head, including 2 that I already have the content for. I’d like to actually create these and maybe distribute them on a small scale. I have loose plans for two more, including one full of fun pieces that I would package up and maybe make available for sale/trade. I love collecting other people’s zines!
  • Visit Austin for the first time, for SXSW. My best friend and I are heading down for a week (and staying with my old “band”mate). Can’t wait! If you’re in the area / going to be, shoot me an email, we can hang out!
  • Sell some of my things, as I’ve accumulated a LOT of clothing and knickknacks and I’d like to downsize before I move. Expect me to get really familiar with eBay in the next little bit!
  • Begin to apply for jobs (towards the end of the month)
  • Teensy bit of freelance web design
  • Taking naps during the week!
now what?

This is not necessarily a formal project, but I have been documenting my consumption of Bagels and Lox for a little while now via a set on flickr.

Now What? animated gif
Sometime in 2008, I realized I was writing the phrase “now what?” on scraps of paper, in margins, and really on anything else. I also secretly put some bits and pieces up at adamjustkidding.com/nowwhat and literally never told anyone about it. Now what?

Speaking of Recyclemania, here’s the poster advertising the free shirts from last year. I don’t know if they’re giving the shirts away in the same manner, but last year students had to bring in recyclable materials… a bunch of people cheated and emptied the recycling bins in the building so that they could get a free shirt! I believe all 300 were distributed that day.

UMBC Recycles t-shirt for Recyclemania 2010
These shirts have been printed (though I haven’t seen them yet) and will be distributed at events at UMBC. Photos of the actual shirt will be posted when I get one!

Sketch for the banner design I did with one of the five winning slogans chosen via Project Black and Gold. By the time I did this one (at appropriate dimensions), I had already drawn a bunch of tiny bits and pieces on a file folder, so I knew what I wanted.
The final banner design is completed, and along with the other 4 slogans, is being printed and then will be installed on lightposts all along UMBC’s “Academic Row” and other locations, sometime before the end of the year. There will most likely also be a kick-off/unveiling event and some designs may be printed onto tshirts as well.

P.S.

I’m going to start posting more inspiration and bits and pieces, I swear! Anyone curious about anything in particular? What would you like to see more of?
