New Freelance Client: The Ring of Fire

Upon graduating college, I figured within a month I would be sitting in a huge design firm, popping out life changing graphics. Of course, that's what I had dreamed about, but dreams only sometime come true. Instead I have found myself struggling to get a job due to lack of experience. My words of wisdom to those who are still in school, GET AN INTERNSHIP! I have graduated and I am now PRAYING for one.
Anyways, one thing I didn't want to do was continue doing freelance work, however I find myself being somewhat successful doing it. Yes, clients can be a pain in the ass and nothing you make for them is 'perfect' or  'what they thought it would be.' I can't read minds so you HAVE to tell me EVERY detail, but that is another story. Anyways, I just met with the owner of the Ring of Fire and they are doing a re branding of the bar. They are moving away from the good ole boy theme, and going to a, yes you guessed it, beach theme. I love the country theme, but if it is going to change I am glad that I have a hand in what it will look like. Tomorrow, I begin using my Fine Art degree by painting a mural in the bar. After that I will help create the new logo and branding, and redo their sign out front. I am pretty excited to start on this in that I haven't been able to do my fine art as much as I would like too. I will keep posting updates daily.

“WE HAVE STRICT NO GLITTER POLICY”

Have you ever heard a better policy for an MMA clothing line! Think about it, how many mma clothing lines have super expensive shirts, covered in sequins and glitter. No sir, not Vexillum Clothing. My buddy Oliver Kalkofen, who also does tattoo's at Mistiso Ink, helped start the clothing line with David Gray. They sponsor not only huge mma names like UFC superstar Tiago Silvia, but also extreme sports athletes. Check out their website: www.vexillumclothing.com 

*Also find them on twitter @vexillumllc

Join the Combat Club

The St. Augustine Combat Club is getting a makeover! The whole place looks like a brand new gym. We currently have classes nightly, usually starting around 6 and each classes is made up of anywhere from 10-20 people, BUT WE WANT MORE! I will take photos of the gym this afternoon and post them to update all the changes. 

Come in no matter age, size, weight, or experience. We welcome everyone! A new schedule will be made in the next week but thus far classes seem to go as this:

Monday- 

Judo 530-630

Muay Thai 630-730

Tuesday-

Boxing 6-7

MMA 7-8

Wednesday-

Judo 530-630

Brazilian Jiujitsu (GI) 630-730

Thursday-

Boxing 6-7

MMA 7-8

Friday-

Judo 630-730

Saturday-

Open Mat 10-12 

*Wrestling classes will be added asap. We are trying to find out what times people want, and it looks like they will be on Mondays and Friday around 7.

**Morning classes will start up if we get enough people to sign up!

Re-branding the Combat Club

So I am a member of the St. Augustine Combat Club, founded by former XFC Lightweight Champion John Mahlow. I created a logo for him a few months ago, and it has been an ongoing process to develop a final solution. Here is a timeline from the start, and what I have come up with so far. If you would like to join the gym or find out more information call (904) 449-3560. We offer wrestling, boxing, MMA, Judo, BJJ, Muay Thai, and pretty much any other martial art you can think of. 

Morning work out

The goal for this morning was to be at the gym and working on that cardio by 10 am! Of course, due to staying up a little later then planned, due to netflix, I am just now about to head out the door. But I am glad I finally got up before noon. Unemployment has tremendously added to my sleep in rate as of late, but hopefully that will all change soon!

HeadCount | Register To Vote

My girlfriend recently attended the Bonnaroo Music Festival where an organization called HeadCount was in attendance. I was interested in some of the stories they have posted on the site and their political stance on issues. I myself am not very political but their cause is very interesting.

What HeadCount Does:
We register voters at concerts and make civic participation part of the live music experience. Artists such as Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, Jack Johnson, Kings of Leon, Phish, John Mayer and Wilco have helped us register over 175,000 voters by welcoming us at their concerts, pointing to our tables from stage and appearing in our public service announcement campaigns.

How they do it:
We have a network of 4,000 volunteers across the county, divided into local street teams. Any time one of our 80 affiliated artists plays a concert in a city where we have a team, our volunteers set up a HeadCount table. At those tables, people can register to vote, write a letter to Congress or sign up for educational email lists related to specific issues. We also maintain a website and blog (www.HeadCount.org and www.headcount.org/blog) with information on voting, current events and volunteer opportunities.

Why they do it:
We believe that musicians and their fans have the potential to be the leaders of worldwide social movements. By harnessing this untapped energy and giving fans the tools to be active and informed citizens, we can galvanize the music community into an influential force -  one capable of making a massive contribution to society.

Who is behind it:
HeadCount was founded in 2004 by Marc Brownstein of the popular electronic rock band The Disco Biscuits and Andy Bernstein, author of the Phish fan guide “The Pharmer’s Almanac.” They were quickly joined by a collective of fans, music industry professionals and musicians including Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, who is  on the organization’s board of directors. Today, HeadCount has a small full-time staff, more than 75 volunteers holding leadership positions and 20 board members.
