January 23, 2014/6 Comments/in Blog/by Colleen Eakins

After writing my post about Brain Dumping, I read this post on Christopher Mance’s blog, “Calling for Death to the Daily Blog.” In it he talks about an article he read from an Atlanta entrepreneur saying in essence, that daily bloggers needed to stop daily blogging.

January 22, 2014/2 Comments/in Blog, Random Musings/by Colleen Eakins

We are not even a full month into 2014 and I am already failing with my New Year’s resolution. My resolution was to make more art (separate from my graphic design) and I thought it would be a great way to exercise and expand my creative muscle. When I was young, I used to draw […]
