I have been so inundated with work that I haven’t had a chance to update my blog in months. I’m still here, and have a LOT of work to update here in a few days.
UPDATE! (Yes, I’m still around – just a good bit older now.)
Hey everyone! Figured I’d check in… I am no longer a 20-something though – HAH! I am now 32, about to be 33… and this design stuff isn’t my side hustle anymore…
IT’S MY ONLY HUSTLE!
Oh yeahhhhhh! So, if you’d like to ever hire me for design, hit me up at my company’s page: Fame15 Creative. (www.fame15creative.com)
At Fame we are doing some seriously cool things. Aside from being a full service marketing and design agency, we also plan and curate our own events. Coming up next on our calendars is the Crosstown Cookout at the Mon Wharf! The event is now in its 3rd year, and is going to be one hell of a time. Check out the event page here ⇝ www.crosstowncookout.com.
So anywhoooooo – hello internet. Check out my more accurate online presence. The rave shit was fun, but on to bigger and better thangs.
xoxo,
Sara

Legions of Dance Presents Pin-up Affair 3
This is the design I did for Legions of Dance’s next event Pin-up Affair 3. The event is October 15, 2011 and will take place at the Pittsburgh Eagle, 1740 Eckert Street in Pittsburgh, PA. The event features Terravita, Freaky Flow, DJ Venom, a surprise headliner, and a variety of local and regional talent.
I really enjoyed doing this design. I just got done watching the HBO miniseries ‘Mildred Pierce’ and had been listening to a lot of 30’s and 40’s big band music. When this design was given to me it was very apparent that I wanted to do a vintage style pin-up poster with some vintage-inspired fonts and colors. I really am pleased with how it turned out. I love the simplicity of vintage design and it’s refreshing that the promoter I did this job for appreciates it as much as I do!
If you have a chance to check out this event, I highly recommend doing so! As always, check out more info @ lolli.org.
Another Threadless Submission! Go Vote!
Hey guys! I did another t-shirt design for Threadless. This is really getting addicting. I did this design for their design competition “Threadless Loves Horror” (as do I)! I’m really getting the Halloween bug so I found it really fun and easy to do this design. It is way more my style as far as where I see my t-shirt designs going than the one I did previously, and my scores are already reflecting that. So please, help me out! If by some crazy chance I do win I plan to use the money to buy my boyfriend and I the bedroom furniture we’re missing to complete our room! It’s long overdue! Thanks and happy voting!
Legions of Dance presents OUTLAWS feat. 16 Bit
This is the design I did for the Legions of Dance event OUTLAWS. The event features dj’s 16bit as well as local talent Robbie Rockso, Sean 2:16, Ben Matrix, Doverspike, Bross, and Buku. The event will be at the downtown Mexico City on August 20th. For more info check out lolli.org. 😉
Sisters of Sinister present… Hey Teacher, Leave Those Kids Alone!
Soooo…. this is the flyer I did for Sisters of Sinister’s event, Hey Teacher, Leave Those Kids Alone! The event is being held at the Lawrenceville Moose in Pittsburgh, PA on August 19, 2011. It costs just $15 and features Defunct! as well as a barrage of local supporting acts.
This was a really fun design to do. I’ve been finding that lately I’ve been getting “lost” in design more and more and really paying attention to the details, trying new things, learning new things, etc.. I know, it’s how I always should have been, but life is stressful and sometimes you just don’t have time to put into the things you love. (I know, it’s a good quote. You can use it. :P)
But yeah, I’m still on the “do what I like” kick, so hopefully all my upcoming designs will keep improving. 🙂 Oh and as always you can find more info at lolli.org!
New Logo for Lolli.org
Rich and I are working on some improvements to the website, so one of the first things we wanted to do (and haven’t had in the 12 years since the website started) was create a logo. This is what I came up with and will be what we use going forward. I’ll continue to post any additional branding improvements we make to the site.
