Melissa Holbrook | Graphic Design

I have been following a very sad story… 70+ starving, emaciated Galgos (similar to Greyhounds – Spanish hunting hounds) were found in Spain.  As an avid Greyhound lover, this story breaks my heart.  Galgos del Sol, the rescue group in Spain who is working to save these hounds, is having an online auction on their Facebook page to help raise funds for this huge undertaking.  I am donating 5 FREE hours of Graphic Design as an auction item.  If you’d like to bid, please visit their auction here by 1/29/12.  I was trying to think how I could help, and if I can contribute to saving even one life, it would be worth it a thousand times over.

Ok, so I may be idolizing my new Gretsch…just a little.  Lately though, she’s been sitting in the corner, and well, nobody puts baby in a corner.

She’s too pretty not to use in some art form or another.  Plus, I saw a band last weekend and one of the guitarists had the exact same guitar – quite motivating!  I really have got to get back into playing more!

Some days, you just feel like you are caught in an epic battle that will never end.  Maybe you’re the tiger or the snake, maybe it’s meetings, deadlines, errands or the seemingly endless “to do” list.  Anyhow.  I think this is when I am most creative…sometimes the more pressure in life, the more ways one finds a creative way of moving forward.
