Trying to create a logo for myself. It STILL looks better when I draw it by hand on paper, but then I suppose that's down to the fact this was the first time I used a vector drawing program in, oh, let's think, about 10 years. (Opensource = *love*) Blagh. Going to use it as a "watermark" on my pieces I upload, if I remember to do it (because I ALWAYS forget).

Going to try and finish off the "ivy-tailed paradise halcine" later - the little kingfisher-griffin-thing. 'Cept I'm on-call, so... go figure. :P I'll probably not get any time.

In other news, I've discovered "VistaPrint" - a printing service that specialises mostly in the "business" side of things (like business cards and flyers and corporate logos and promotional stuff) BUT! They occasionally have promotions on, and I got emailed by them a few days ago (the standard we-want-you-money-so-we'll-slash-our-prices type email) and managed to wrangle 100 postcards (on which I put one of my designs) for £3.49. I'll be reporting back on how they turn out, because this is one case where a little bit of knowledge could be very useful.

In other news, we had a delivery of medicinal leeches at the pharmacy today, and they were in a clear tub so we could admire their pretty speckly colours. I like leeches.

To me, it looks like the logo of an extraterrestrial empire.

Maybe I've just watched too much Star Trek and played too much Galactic Empires.
