My First Carved Pumpkin

This year I decided to carve myself a pumpkin for Halloween. Honestly this is something that I have never done before. I couldn't decide if I wanted to make Trevor Moore, Jeffree Star, or what, but I knew I wanted to do it from a photograph.

Well I ended up buying an artificial pumpkin at Michael's Arts and Crafts when they were 60% off and decided on carving in Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, one of my favorite movies.





Overall I'm pretty satisfied...it looks much better without the light in it though. I've learned from this experience and am ready to tackle another one next Halloween :P

First Look at Christmas Cards

Like I previous mentioned in my other entry, I am going to be selling at the Arts Festival again this year. I have decided two make 2 Christmas sets. Each set will contain a set of three uniquely designed christmas cards, and a set of Christmas stickers. My two sets are going to be Christmas Fairies and Christmas Goodies.

I have three designs for the Christmas Fairy cards so far.
Here are a first look at two:

Also ordered 250 business cards online and waiting for them to ship :3 I have my own little website @ http://www.violet-ink.com, Violet Ink Design, being my freelance identity. Incase you didn't know, which it would be hard not to notice, I am a freelance Graphic Design desperately searching for a job.
