branding myself

Whew!  Folks, let me tell you something: the creative process is draining!

In the interest of bringing a more unique and exciting blog to my hoard of (what is it now, 4?) readers, I have enlisted the help of a very helpful and creative friend in designing some custom touches.  And while I, myself, have not an ounce of artistic ability in my little finger, she is a gifted artsy-fartsy type, who is in the process of launching her own graphic design firm.  I know, right? Very impressive!

Anyway, while she toils away, creating uber-cool designs from scratch, I have been scouring the interwebs, looking for images that I think might be just right to incorporate.  You see, I'm ultimately working towards giving this blog a solid branded image.  One you all will recognize from site to site.  

Hey!  Isn't that Thirty Twenty's image?  I absolutely must read on!

And after hours of searching, I think we finally have our options in custom design and chic graphics narrowed down.  So stay tuned!  We should have a new format in the very near future.  I know you're all waiting on bated breath.  We won't disappoint!

But I'll tell you what...I have a new found respect for all designers.  I'm not doing shit but googling and clicking in my quest for something special and I am completely drained!  So if you count yourself among the ranks of the artistic (and I know at least half of my readership does!), hat's off to you, my friends.
