Cangelosi sisters are on FIYAH!

I have rarely had the opportunity to work with twins in my class. It has only happened one other time, with the Sprague brothers (Calvin and Ryan) who are responsible for this: http://www.pavlovvisuals.com/ They were also from Flower Mound, just like the Cangelosi sisters. Highly talented twins seem to run in that town.


Lately, there have been some very cool things going on here in the studio.
Sometimes students at Career Center East get big opportunities during the time that they are here. Miekala Cangelosi, a senior Practicum student in my Graphic Design and Illustration program got that opportunity recently during an internship for 35 Denton Music Festival. Miekala earned a spot as a design intern with 35 Denton, and was assigned the task of creating an ad to announce the music festival in D Magazine, who is one of the sponsoring partners of the festival. Her ad appeared in the February issue as a full page full-color advertisement, and Miekala has a great addition to her portfolio as she applies to design schools across the country. She is interested in attending either Cal Arts, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), or Maine College of Art (MECA).

Her sister, Sophie, has been progressing very nicely as an illustrator recently as well. Her style is very identifiable, but she has learned to take it a different direction and learned a lot about how to do digital painting in a more realistic way (she had been different color range and more large shapes). She still maintains her own style, but has added a changed dimension to her work lately. It is very inspiring. Sophie is hoping to attend either MICA, MECA or Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD).

 Good job, girls.

These are some seniors who are on their way to some amazing things.

Sophie completed this painting in around 6 hours.

The happiness train is back on track today!

Ahh. Like a breath of fresh air, my mood is back to usual today. I don't like feeling down in the dumps. The happy train is back in the station, and boy is that a relief. What can you do to elevate your mood when you are feeling glum? Sometimes stress can actually cause you to feel sick. If you have a lot of stress, I have come up with some very simple ways to feel instantly better. These work for me, they may not for you - but if these don't work, there are probably some that are just as easy to accomplish that would work great. Really, all you have to do is ask one question. If someone looked at you and said, "Hey, tomorrow there will be no jobs that you have to get done, no chores, and no one is depending on you at all. You can do whatever you want to do for one 24 hour period, just because you want to do them." If someone gave you that permission, what would you choose to do? I have a few... I would take a long, relaxing bath. I would go to a florist with

A new topic...Mark has been facing a new challenge.

Just for the eyes of our family: the challenge of prostate cancer. Since the beginning of May, last spring, Mark has earned so much respect from me. He has bravely faced his diagnosis of prostate cancer. He had surgery in July, and now in August, he is recovering from that. I am so proud of how he is dealing with the whole thing. He (thankfully) seems to have caught it early, thanks to his regular yearly physical. His PSA was slightly elevated and his biopsy came back showing cancer in four of twelve cores in his prostate. He had the option of radiation or surgery, and he opted for surgery. We are now post-surgery by exactly one month, so I can report good progress at this point. We have a follow-up appointment coming up soon, and are hopeful that the reports are good. Since I have not discussed it since the diagnosis and surgery, I felt that I should start the dialog here. He is being so proactive and is working hard to do everything he can to get past it all. His diet has flip

Conner keeps hitting them out of the park!

Sometimes people just get on creative hot streaks, and Conner seems to be on one right now. First he created a new logo for the Dale Jackson Career Center. Then he created an awesome motion graphics typography-based piece in After Effects. Then, when asked to create a new logo for the Career Center East, he created a unique and professional logo AGAIN! Conner, we are proud of what you do every day in terms of your relationships with your classmates and your high standards, but now you also deserve serious respect for your professionalism as well. We are very honored to have a talent like yours in our studio every day. Conner designed this motion piece in After Effects that features the logo design that he created in animated form. The logo is a symbolic representation of a pathway to the top of the earth. The slogan is "Paving the Way" and it is capitalizing on the switch to "career pathways" that we are using in Career and T
