Well it's June, that means MFM, the one and only FurCon I ever make time to visit (because it's local) is slowly drawing close again. Since I decided the last Image of Palma didn't shape up to be be Conbook material -- I'm now creating Skunk themed T-Shirt designs that I'll be happily submitting to MFM's T-Shirt contest. For this task I'm using Adobe Illustrator, which is a program I've never been a big fan of, but I'm forcing myself to use it to so I can get a better handle on it.

I hate to be intimidated by a program I don't fully understand. So far the best way I've learned to solve that hurdle is to just sit down with a box of donuts, a pack of Mountain Due, and bag of patience to work your way through. That and lots, and lots of time and practice. After I complete the three T-Shirt designs, I'll begin reintroducing myself to Adobe Aftereffects to try and tackle some very complicated animation techniques.

By the way, anyone going to MFM this upcoming year, I'd be very interested in having a room mate from Thursday to Monday at the Holiday Inn. I'm one of those wacky folk who'd actually like to somewhat know whom I'm going to be staying with for a weekend! Ha! Just leave a reply to Journal and we'll go from there.
