Oh hello there, I see you have found me in my gnarly little internet lair. Well I guess its not that gnarly right now, all i have is silly picture and some words on it but soon enough people!! don't rush me damnit! Alright rush me. I like the pressure.
ANYWAYS, who ever would have thought that this gal ( i wish i knew how to put an arrow pointing up to the picture above), would ever be posting things on a blog. In September I didn't even know what a desk top was on the computer. What a cave man I was. So, the reason for this blog is for my business class in the fashion design program that I'm taking at the Pacific Design Academy in Victoria BC. This week I must talk about my Trolls and Ghasperations so I guess I should stop rambling and get down to it.
About two years ago a thought popped into my head while I was a mountain in Banff Alberta, but thats a story for some other time.
I started this program hoping to gain a creative outlet in my life. I have a wild imagination and I love to create things that didn't exist before. I come from a family of artist and sewers<- hahaha , i meant people who sew. ( i actually just laughed out loud by my self) ........Sorry........ back on track. SO, my whole family is very creative and I like to think that I am as well. Costume design is what I originally had in mind when I made the move from Alberta to Victoria. The idea of designing elaborate, fancy and crazy things for the stage really appealed to me. Once I learned how much fun and amazingly rewarding it is to design and make clothing that people could wear everyday, a whole new world of possibilities assaulted my mind. OH THE THINGS I COULD DO!!
Once I finish school I would love to try and get a job at a place like the Banff Center in their costume department. Well that was the idea I've had for the past 7 months or so and it's an idea thats floating around in my head still but it isn't alone. I would also like to start a cottage industry type business designing both mens and womans clothing. Or maybe...MAYBE I could try for jobs at such places as Lifetime Collective, RVCA or Volcom.
I guess I'm just really excited for E V E R Y T H I N G ! No really I'm like annoyingly excited, my room mate must be going nuts with such a hyper person around all the time.
Well ahhhhh. That concludes my first ever Blog entry. Look at me go David!!! I really like this class so far!
Peace out ninjas.

You are hilarious and ridiculous and I want you to know that I too actually laughed out loud about your family of sewers.
ReplyDeleteNice blog G.dog!
I have to say your journalistic style is almost like some thing out of "Fear and Loathing"..
ReplyDeleteRaoul Duke: There's a uh, big machine in the sky, some kind of, I dunno, electric snake, coming straight at us.
Dr. Gonzo: Shoot it.
Raoul Duke: Not yet, I want to study its habits.
I think you're starting to understand what it's like to call yourself an artist. It's a curse. Always waking up in the morning with a new set of questions. It's the annoying excitement that may never go away!
The most important thing is a channeled vision. Right now you're having visions... not a thing wrong with that the passion is there! If you can continue to learn the language of fashion in order to communicate vision you'll do really well when the penny drops on the direction you really would like to set off on.
If you can continue to come up with questions and work i'll do my best to guide you into an area of the industry where you can enjoy the rewards of the passion for the fashion. Keep writing.
