Time keeps on slippin'

It's sort of extra-official now, since the wedding invitations have gone out.



I did the graphic design and a lot of cutting things out. Jacquelyn did the assembly. What you see in the photo went inside an envelope cut out from old maps. They looked fantastic.

We're in the final stretched now, something like 70 days until the wedding. In an attempt to raise more money to pay for everything, I'm soliciting the members of the iconomicon for donations in exchange for custom icons or other graphic work. I'm also selling photography and art prints at jackart, which I will be updating with a lot of newer photography this week.

It's been a slow rave season lately, so I've not had much other graphic work. I was asked what I'd charge for photographing a wedding, but I haven't heard back yet. With the taxi company about to lost 23% of their business and probable layoffs coming, I'm getting a little freaked about money.

Those are some of the most awesome invitations I've ever seen.

Why thank you!

These are wicked! If I had any events coming up, I'd hire you to do the invites in a heartbeat! Your creativity and talent are astounding :)

I clicked into iconomicon last night. Fell in love with the GOT ones (in addition to others of course). Must get back over there to grab a few for my collection!

They're beautiful! Nice work. I'm sure having it on a lot of people's calendars is a little surreal.

Why the drop in taxi business? Is this just because school's out or something? Weird...

Fingers crossed for many good $$ opportunities.

So, 23% of our business is giving people who are on various forms of medical assistance rides to their doctors and therapists and whatnot. As of July 1st, rather than the hospitals and clinics and caseworkers of those people being able to call whomever they want (which is primarily my company because we're the best), they have to arrange their rides through a brokerage company who make their money denying rides to people. This brokerage company doesn't like us much and are trying to find someone cheaper to do their rides. Right now, we get about 30 calls per hour from medical assistance. As of July 1st, we may get as little as zero rides, maybe as much as 10 per hour. Other states that use this company have hated them, so I'm hoping the contract doesn't last, but who can say. Either way, I'm likely going to see a cut in pay.

That is fully wack. I'm sorry. Fingers crossed.

Also: you are the second person on my friends page to have the Steve Miller line as their subject. Plate of shrimp.
