Landscape Beginning

Starting my very first landscape painting! I've laid down the tones for the sky and ground, added a treeline and some shrubs. All that's missing are clouds, cows, and sable palms!

Christmas Cover Photo

Here's a little something I whipped up to get my Facebook profile into the Christmas spirit!

Font: Lavanderia (I promise I don't use this font for everything... it's just my favorite thing to use for personal designs!)


Christmas is only a month away! Yay!

Inaugural Post!

Here I go again... another blog!
I think this is number three for me. However, the difference lies in the purpose of this blog. This blog's purpose is to convince people that I am staying on the edge of design, progressing in my abilities, and generally cranking out some great design work.


I guess the first thing I should do is explain the reasoning behind my "company" name:

a·mi·a·ble - adj.    (dictionary.com)
1. having or showing pleasant, good-natured personal qualities; affable: an amiable disposition.
2. friendly; sociable: an amiable greeting; an amiable gathering.
3. agreeable; willing to accept the wishes, decisions, or suggestions of another or others.
(dictionary.com)

My name just happens to fit into "Amiable" while still retaining the same pronunciation, so I have decided to take that and run with it! I am a very social person - a social butterfly, if you will - and I do my best to please.

 The best part about a blog is that I can use it to track my personal progress as a design student. I'm in my final year of classes but I feel like I have only just begun learning!
Here's a few examples of my recent design work in order to see how I have progressed a few months (or several years) from now. Click "read more!"
