Recently I finished up a very patriotic project that is a lot of fun to see all over town!  I designed this year’s logo for Firecracker 6. The Firecracker 6 is a six mile race held every 4th of July, in downtown Indianapolis.  It was spectacular to be involved with such a great community event, [...]

Here you have it!  My first official post for Illustration Friday!  I’m excited to say I actually did it.  Maybe I put too much effort into my first post-(I’m hearing Danielle Duncan’s eyes rolling around in her head)-ok perhaps I put way too much work into it.  I won’t post how long exactly. I’m excited [...]

Keeping busy is the name of the game these past few months.  Robert and I have traversed the the midwest, as well as our fair city, and shot some wonderful photos of the botanical gardens here in town.  I love finding pockets of inspiration hidden in unlikely places.  I particularly enjoyed these macro shots of [...]

A few months ago my cousin Jaime Frimpong and I were talking on the phone. She lives with her husband Kofi in Knoxville, Tennessee and is earning her masters in social work.   We like to catch up now and then, as we’ve been life-long friends, literally since infancy.  (I have photos to prove it.) [...]

“Don’t take no for an answer, and leave no prisoners behind!” I was in need of a battle cry, and I found one.  These words were written to me yesterday in an email from a friend, probably in jest. However I found myself shocked at the weight that they carried throughout my day. My first [...]

In the past few months I’ve been developing the art of concepting, and slowly the time between when I start a project and when it’s completed is begining to shorten. In college I’d start to panic when I narrowed in on 3 days before a project was due. Now there are times I’m given a project [...]

So, it’s time to begin again, and there is nothing like getting a second wind!  I have some great ideas for future projects (stay tuned) and have lots of design work loaded on my plate to keep me motivated for a long time! Just a quick update of what I’ve been doing since my last [...]

It’s been entirely too long since my last post, however my lateness in posting is somewhat indicative of how outrageously busy I’ve been.  The excitement of this new job coupled with Robert and I orienting ourselves to our new surroundings is quite enough to fill up one summer, thank you. Robert borrowed an old record [...]

Here it is, the long-awaited review of my first week on the job!  I hear lately that many people have wondered what in the world Mandie Anderson is doing at her strangely vague job appointment in Carmel, Indiana.  To answer you, Clint Harris, no, I have not unwittingly joined the mafia, and I do not [...]

We’re home.  At least home for now.  I’m learning the definition of ‘home’ becomes more and more loose as I grow older.  Home used to be the place where my parents and brother resided, with my friends and grandparents nearby.  Then as I moved away to college I became more accustom to my material possessions as the [...]
