I've been trying to figure out what this new blog (kristinheather.tumblr.com) is going to be about. Sure, it's about design. "New work, inspiration, and other tidbits of art, crafts, and design" in fact. Rest assured that it will continue to be about that. The thing is, I'm interested in it being more.There is a long-held belief that in order for art to be "Christian", it must have Jesus in it,

New Blog at KristinHeather.tumblr.comYou'll also notice that it's part of a new website: KristinHeather.com.I'm pretty thrilled with it, but it's still a work in progress - so check back often for new work. If you know anyone who needs web, identity, or print design, send them my way. They'll be thrilled with the process, product, and price tag. ; )

I've written a few ambiguous posts about billboards, designing for my job, and now the joys of designing for a group of people with a thousand ideas of what their piece should be. A few of you have asked me for clarification, and I would love to do that in a post. A day in the life:I'm given the following sketch for our new billboard. The concept is that we're going to Free delivery and we

CNN.com really has a knack for writing headlines that I can't help but click on. Compelling is the word. Sometimes it's due to their sensational nature. Sometimes it's because they just don't make sense. This one takes a new high: Pope meets koala, texts pilgrimsA string of computer generated words you might ask? No. It's a news story about exactly what it says. The pope went to Australia, met

Every week or so I get a hit on my blog by someone googling something along the lines of "Is going to the bathroom a sin?"... almost always from a different country. Two things are weird about this: A. This is a common question among all peoples from all cultures - establishing that it is a serious concern. B. Something about my blog makes Google think that I hold the answers. Though I don't

A few months ago I made a table/chair/stool thing out of an industrial spool. (photos found here ) I covered the top with foam given to me for free and then cut up some curtains that I was going to get rid of anyway to go on top. A number of people gave me a hard time and suggested I use the rest to make clothes for children who I should then take to explore the streets of Salzburg. As I've gone

Apparently my billboard is now up over West End. Disclaimer: We didn't go with the design that I liked best, but at the same time it's far from the ones I hated passionately. If you think it's lame: don't blame me.If you like it: yeah, that's mine.PS. This billboard resides over an Exxon station.

What do you do when you have to design a billboard whose concept you hate (repeat: H.A.T.E)?My job is to make great ideas look great. I can even sometimes make good ideas look great. But, if you give me a stupid idea, I simply cannot make it good. period. Do I say "Let's renegotiate"? or, do I just grin and bear the fact that now whenever any person that I meet asks me if I designed the

There is some sort of law that we're not allowed to sell food that is within a certain amount of time of its expiration date. So, awesomely enough, that short-dated food often goes into the community fridge in the break room or on the break room table. Usually yogurts, strawberries, orange juice, bags of salad. This is what I found today.

I decided on Tuesday night to try to go a week only eating with chopsticks and to document my experience. It's turned out to be really uneventful because it turns out that not much is actually all that hard to eat with chopsticks. Even my yogurt for breakfast wasn't that big of a deal. I may still post some pictures, but I really don't have any good stories or fascinating discoveries. I know

After weeks of deliberating in my mind... I finally took the plunge yesterday. I am the happy owner of an incredible painting by none other than the Sunni Mercer. It's hanging in my living room now and I just can't get over how much I love it.

At sxsw, Kathy Sierra gave a lecture called Tools for Enchantment: 20 ways to woo users. It was largely psychology based - figuring out scientifically what our brains and bodies like, and then figuring out how to integrate these things into our products to "woo users". One of the tips that she gave was to " add randomness to create serendipity". She talked about how people love shuffle on

"The message of the resurrection is that this world matters! That the injustices and pains of this present world must now be addressed with the news that heaing, justice, and love have won... If Easter means Jesus Christ is only raised in a spiritual sense - then it is only about me and finding a new dimension in my personal spiritual life.

I thrive under stress. I mean, I live for it. I'm always looking for projects to keep me crazy and I go crazy without them. I love a good unattainable deadline or unreasonable request. My job has been seriously lacking in all of these things up until very recently. This week marks the beginning of my job becoming ridiculous, actually... And I'm stoked about it.The irony lies in that this

And things are already looking up. Better weather - and along with it, better health, more creativity, more productivity, and a brighter outlook. I'd heard people talk about this terrible depression that sets in in February, but I didn't really understand what they were talking about. Oh glory, I do now. For the last month, I have had consistent lows in every area of my life. Not absolute

Got a call from the surgeon yesterday afternoon and everything checked out just fine. Thought you might want to know. Thank you for praying for me! In other news, I'm coming to Austin in just a few weeks for the SXSW Interactive Festival. So, if you live down that way, maybe I can see you for a bit. I'd really like that. Lets get lunch one day.

I'm having a little procedure done tomorrow.I've had some swollen lymph nodes in my neck for a little over a month now, and 3 blood tests have not been able to explain them away (though I am definitely negative for HIV and Mono, in case you're wondering) So they've decided to take one out and poke around at it... which is also known as a biopsy.

I've gotten 3 different messages from 3 different people in the last 24 hours checking in on me for 3 different reasons. People are praying for me, asking for prayer, and genuinely looking out for me. It's moments like these that I realize how poorly I love people. Man, how did I come into such an amazing group of friends? I love you people.

When I was home for Christmas, Momma, Kamryn, and I went on a girls night out. First, we went for dinner at Magnolia Cafe where we had nachos and fat tire (ok, mommy and I had fat tire). From there we went to the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar and then later to Mozarts for dessert and coffee. Now for the cool part:While at the bazaar, I bought 3 prints from a local artist named Jay Long.

This is a link to a sermon preached by Craig Brown last night at City Church of East Nashville. It's the sermon that I wanted Rev. Adkins to preach on the 23rd as referenced in this post. Some what of an antithesis.. or perhaps just the truer truth. This is what our hearts need to hear. This is what needs to be preached week after week. Oh if only we believed that it were true!

Kristin,... my faithful request and admonition is that you join our company and associate with us, who are real, great, and hard-boiled sinners. You must not, by no means make Christ to seem paltry and trifling to us, as though He could be our helper only when we want to be rid of imaginary, nominal, and childish sins. No! No! That would not be good for us. He must rather be a Savior and Redeemer

We find ourselves in the time of Advent - the hopeful anticipation of the God of the universe breaking into His creation. We can imagine the feeling of the expectant hearts of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, & the prophets. Knowing that the One had not yet come. Knowing that the sacrifices were doing no good and that a day was coming when sin would be conquered and atoned for... and death would begin to

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

“No one ever said that they learned their deepest lesson of life, or had their sweetest encounters with God, on the sunny days. People go deep with God when the drought comes. That is the way God designed it. Christ aims to be magnified in life most clearly by the way we experience him in our losses. Paul is our example: ‘We were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of

No doubt a part of the wonder which is concentrated in the word “Behold,” is excited by the unbelieving lamentation of the preceding sentence. Zion said, “The Lord hath forsaken me, and my God hath forgotten me.” How amazed the divine mind seems to be at this wicked unbelief! What can be more astounding than the unfounded doubts and fears of God’s favoured people? The Lord’s loving word of rebuke

There aren't a lot of people who can be strikingly beautiful in an orange fashion mullet, milk white skin, no make up, and a hot pink dress.

You know, to have a sibling whos 8.5 years younger and superior to me in every way. It takes a hit at a young person's pride. But now I'm just obsessed with her.

cool things that have happened in my life as of late:1. Flugtag. I saw people fall from the sky from an airplane, and then some other people hurl themselves off of a ramp into the Cumberland River. Some sort of record was set. If it hadn't been so dang hot, I might have enjoyed it more. 2. R.C. Sproul. Drove with a couple friends to Memphis and back to hear RC Sproul preach a couple weeks ago.

"Can God be any less good to you on the average Tuesday morning than he was on that monumental Friday afternoon when he hung on a cross in your place? The answer is a resounding no. God will not be less good to you tomorrow either, because God cannot be less good to you. His goodness is not the effect of his disposition but the essence of his person-- not an attitude but an attribute”. -Paige

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in

The love of Christ is rich and free;Fixed on His own eternally;Nor earth, nor hell, can it remove;Long as He lives, His own He’ll love.His loving heart engaged to beTheir everlasting Surety;’Twas love that took their cause in hand,And love maintains it to the end.Love cannot from its post withdraw;Nor death, nor hell, nor sin, nor law,Can turn the Surety’s heart away;He’ll love His own to endless

In every station new trials and troubles call for more grace than I can afford.Where can I go but to my dear saviorfor mercy that pours from boundless stores?Grace upon grace every sin repairedevery void restored you will find him there.In every turning he will prepare youwith grace upon grace.

I heard back from the dream job. I'm in their top three, so they're going to give me (us?) a test project. This is really scary. Please pray that I do well and can impress them. I'm going to make up a few extra projects and try to finish them in the next week or so as well. Pray that I'm able to be creative. ahhhhh

I just looked at my official transcript. I have a 3.74. I repeat. I have a three point seven four GPA. What is Cum Laude? like 3.62 I think. but that doesn't matter. What matters is that Magna Cum Laude is 3.75. eff.(I'd be lying if I said I didn't just cry a little)

Things are happening in my life faster than I can blog about them. BUT, one thing I will say is that tonight is my senior portfolio show! My design portfolio that I have been working on tirelessly for the last 3 years is making its debut! It will be accompanied by a reception (with food), and followed by portfolio review tomorrow! Portfolio review is a fairly intense inspection of sorts by a

Maybe Jesus' kingdom is coming.Seems like every day I see Christian topics being discussed in the public square, Christian writers, artists, scientists, thinkers, teachers in the spotlight, and Christian ministries growing, being recognized, and changing lives. Yesterday, this story was featured on the front page of CNN.com. I really love it because it's predominantly direct quotes from the man

It's 9 am here in Grand Rapids and my friends are all still asleep. In an hour or so, we will all embark again first to chicago for lunch and then down to Nashville. This weekend at the Festival of Faith and Music at Calvin College has been amazing. Hundreds of Christians are here that are thinking seriously about topics of life and faith, but that are committed to engaging culture rather than
