I need to start this post off with a rant about the stability of Illustrator CS2 running in Rosetta on an Intel Mac.

It’s horrid. Absolutely horrid. It’s the only program which seems to consistently crash on my computer, which is saying something! It crashes almost silently sometimes, which is nice since I could be reading something, finish reading, go to do something in Illustrator, only to discover that it has crashed. On one hand “thanks for not making a scene, buddy”, on the other: “I didn’t save, you prick.”

The love-hate relationship with Illustrator can’t be avoided and despite my ambivalence I find myself returning to its warm and tender embrace; *I’m imagining some kind of image involving the curve or spiral tool making a path that wraps around my neck*.

I’m not sure if this is portfolio-worthy, but I’m going to add it as a super-awesome blog-only wallpaper (and deviantArt, since I somehow feel the need to upload there). Behold the tentacle-filled box! It was a concept for an assignment which I have yet to complete (will be up when finished), however I came to realize it would be impractical for the assignment so went for a “flashier” style.
