Aspiring Designer Looking for Work in Savannah

[OMGLX]

Quick backstory--

I graduated from Armstrong Atlantic back in May (SCAD is too rich for my blood), kind of making my own way as a Graphic Designer (not too much in the way of design courses there)...

...come to find (and to read here on GP) that Savannah isn't really a great place for designers, what with all the SCAD kids trying to find jobs too (and people know about SCAD, wtf is Armstrong Atlantic?) and the market not really conducive for full-on hires.

Unfortunately, finding freelance work hasn't been great either... then again, I have admittedly become a lazy fuck since graduating.

Anyways--

I saw the Gig Poster book at work, and I had to pick it up. Flipping through its pages I found myself finding that desire to design again that I had lost being here the last few months, slinging coffee drinks for assholes. ^_^




Aaaaand, I've been to this website a lot, so I figured time to get off my ass and start trying to weasel my way into the poster biz...

...and... noonesgonnareadthisshitanywayssowhatamIsayinghere.


Uh, yeah. Any suggestions? I'm planning on moving back to Atlanta in about a year or so, once I've got some cash to put a down payment on a house back home and get the fuck out of here.

In the mean time, I've just been making shit to entertain myself and trying to tell myself I should go to some of the small clubs and venues downtown and try to shill my stuff but I don't think I'm fucking cool enough for some of these places.


...I guess I need more flannel.

Whatever, here is my port:

OMG Alex!: portfolio

Someone tell me I shouldn't pack my shit up just yet.

Steve, want to field this one?

[OMGLX]

Yeah, I saw that thread already. I just finished crying actually.

...Thanks for reminding me...

I haven't read so many true things in one place since... well, never. He's so fucking right I'm trying not to bury my head under the ground as I type this.

[evanmarnoch]

Camembert, please.

[OMGLX]

What about cheese? I'm confused.

I'm not up on the jargon, or lingo, or slang or the flipside-what-have-you.

Is it derogatory? Like 4chan people calling the cancerous newfag?

[Bahr]

the inevitable questions are:

favorite type of cheese?

do you like bacon?

[OMGLX]

Does this determine my capacity as a poster? I will treat it with all the appropriate gravitas as though it does.

...I must say I do enjoy a rather piquant Aged Edam on a thin slice of toasted Marble Rye...

...oh, what the hell am I saying, I don't know fuck all about cheese. I know I just put it on 90% of what I eat because it tickles that little part of my brain that makes the voices stop. Muenster, Provolone, Gouda, Monterey, Feta... Ooh, especially Feta... as long as it clogs the veins and coats the mouth, I am content.

And of fucking course I love Bacon. What kind of question is that? Honestly. I capitalize the word Bacon.

I adore Bacon so much, I'd replace both of my siblings with fleshy pork analogues, that I might enjoy their worth-its-weight-in-gold deliciousness.

Every day I get to have Bacon without personally shrieking like a total pussy in front of the stove myself is a day spent amongst the Gods in the halls of Valhalla. Every day without Bacon is a day to be cast aside with the rest of life's refuse, better to be regarded as having never actually existed.

World Peace? The Dow is up 400 points? A free lifetime subscription to Penthouse? Who gives a fuck, I didn't get Bacon today. Fuck-it-all.



I hope that adequately answers your questions of me. I tend to type a lot because there isn't much for me to do here in Savannah, had you not noticed.

"then again, I have admittedly become a lazy fuck since graduating."


this is exactly what you need to keep telling potential clients...you will be rich in no time.

I once ate an entire pound of Bacon in one sitting....then I washed myself w a rag on a stick
