When u know u r an artist...

Hello, everyone!
I am Mariam - known as "the people's person".
I go to New England Art Institute of Brookline for my MBA in Graphic Design. I expect to be graduating in May 2010. Can't wait...
I was in Law School for 2 years - out of disappointment in the system, I quitted and decided to become an artist - A way of making justice through the arts, I guess.
I'm Lebanese and Brazilian; I speak Arabic, Portuguese and hopefully English...hehehe.
Other then "mistaken the TV remote's control for a keyboard" trying to "back up channels" (hint: when u know u r an artist), I work as a server in Winthrop, by the sea...I mean, the restaurant is by the sea, I have to work inside...where the sun gets too shy to enter...hehehe. Ok, enough revealing...
Working with GEF is already being a pleasure!
Can't wait to meet you all!

Let the games begin

Well I suppose I'll get things started. I'm Geoff and I went to SMFA in Boston. I write short stories, I write and record music, and of course I'm a designer and illustrator. My last GEF lesson was "Make Bark and Leaf Rubbings" for PreK-2, and I'm about to upload "Little Red Hen Grinds Wheat."

So anyway, that's that. If anyone's interested, you can check out my website by clicking here.

Okay, so who's next?

Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Welcome to the GEF Artist's online Blog! Since the work for the Green Education Foundation is mostly remote, I have decided to create an online blog where all of you can introduce yourselves, add photo's, share video's, post your art, etc. Remember- this blog is just for you guys, so you can also blog about non-work related things as well!

You should all have received an e-mail inviting you to become an author for this blog. If you have any questions, or you have not received an e-mail, first check your spam filter, then shoot me an e-mail.

Thanks everyone, and enjoy!
Jess
