Call it Procastination vs. Procrastination. It's taking me forever to get around to doing my taxes, but it took me EVEN LONGER to update my work portfolio. Like, a year. So I finally sat down one afternoon, in the rare lull of waiting for email feedback on a project, and dug through the last year of project work and whittled it down to some favorites. And finally, my online portfolio is up to date. For the most part. 

The old saying is true: we always put ourselves last on the list. It only took oh... a couple of of years for me to finally update my design portfolio. I know there's a lot of you nodding your head out there, the Birdy isn't the only one who put her marketing on the backburners. It's life. It happens.

But I'm very glad to say I've updated my portfolio!! OMG!! It's now a graphic design, illustration, photography and writing portfolio. Whew. I had a hard time figuring out how to put it all together, so many different projects and styles, but I decided, oh the heck with it, let's just show it all and let Wordpress figure it out. It was a nice crash-course in using a Wordpress blog template to act as an art portfolio. It's not perfect, and I admit this is more of a short-term fix until I can make a more customized site layout, but given my track record, wait a few years, then see what happens. But this is a nice way to present work and update it easily and quickly without having to fuss with much code. 

So there you have it, the latest and greatest of what the ol' Magpie has been up to during her freewheelin' freelancing day job, on denisesakaki.com. Unfortunately the template's slideshow only shows the first few posts/projects, but feel free to explore in there and see what else is there. And yes, I am, indeed a graphic design/illustration/photographer/writer gun for hire, as I like to say. Yeehaw.
