New postcard

Here's a picture of a postcard I got recently. I'll have to go find it in the box to remember where I got it. I'm also testing out blogging from my phone which should help me get more posts up!

Postcrossing and More

Hello! Long time no see, mister blog. I've been collecting Sabrina drawings and pictures for a while so hopefully I can use some of my downtime as a freelance graphic designer to update this more often.

To get things started, I want to tell you about Postcrossing.com. You might be able to tell that I love mail -- especially postcards. My friend introduced me to this and I've been hooked ever since. It's basically a postcard exchange program with people from all over the world! I have close to 50 postcards from everywhere now. I added information about my blog to my profile, so I might be able to add a bunch of new artworks to the mix too!

Here is a card from Mirka in Finland. She is studying comics in art school -- how fun!

Enjoy!

My collections

I love mail. I love letters, cards, and especially postcards. Since my birthday is in December, I really get to rack up the cards. Here is a simple and fun scan of all the Sabrinas from the envelopes. If you sent me a card, it might be here.

I'm back!

Yes, I have some Sabrina to share with the world. Here is something to get you going until I post the other 4 cards that I've been sitting on for a while. (Year? More? Sigh.)

This is the name place card that my new Japanese cousin, Yoko, made for the rehearsal dinner for her and my cousin's wedding in Los Angeles. It says Sabrina on one side in English, and in Japanese on the other. I scanned it flat, but have some pictures of what it looked like. She does beautiful handmade fabric jewelry that has been sold at Anthropologie! Check out her art and jewelry here.

Hello 2010!

Well, hello there!

I must apologize for not giving this bog my attention for the past 9 months. I have been hoarding a few cards away (which I will unveil this week) along with some other Sabrina collections.

To explain, I was unemployed last summer and started working again for a non-profit called Heroic Media in August. I was the development assistant for 4 months and then was hired on full time and permanent as the executive assistant. I have a grand deep passion for the work I do there, even if it is not always design. I did help them with a logo change adjustment, and was able to redesign their marketing materials and website. I have been getting situated with working again and have found my way back to design after a small rest. I hope to begin freelancing a bit soon to supplement my income.

If you're reading this blog again, thanks and welcome back! If you're new, then you have some catching up to do. :)

Love, Sabrina

Card 20 | Benjamin R. Thompson

Hoooray! 20 Cards!

This card comes from Ben Thompson, the creative director of Studiofluid - a branding and web design company in Los Angeles, CA. Go check them out!

I love this pencil work. I think we designers forget how awesome a pencil can be. Thanks, Ben!
