FreshBooks

Thanks Bella for posting this tip! “mf”

A website recommended by a friend (photographer) of mine, it’s basically an online database/accounts system for invoicing your freelance work. You can keep a database of clients (free account only limits to 3 clients, a $14/m allows you 25) and you don’t have to re-enter the address/name/email/company into your invoices if you’re being contracted by the same guy again.

The best part – with a click of the send button in the invoicing page, it generates an automated email that links your client to a webpage of the invoice, and when the client has viewed it, FreshBooks informs you immediately.

Its convenient for those on the fly. You can have your own FreshBooks “webpage”. For instance, mine is http://bellagoh.freshbooks.com.

Ramblings on the train and maybe a lil more.



hi, my name is celeste. Michael and Andrew urged me to get out of my rabbit hole.. and here i am, my first entry on this blog after being a member for so long.

Ramblings on the train is a collection of my daily thoughts done pictorially on the way to work. I just had to find my own space and time to indulge a lil in my own ramblings. Clocking long hours for a fulltime gig just makes doodling sessions really precious to me.

You can find more of my sketches, paintings and random drawings at www.celesteanning.com.
And http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarwanderlust/ to see the world thru my eyes.

Junk Food Benny

mindflyer added: “msxi” just joined oic. If you have seen the magazine “amelia”, you would have seen some of her wonderful work. Nice stuff msxi! :)

This series of illustrations sparked off after I arrived in London. I was appalled by the number of fast-food outlets, cafeterias selling ready meals, take-away joints and supermarkets selling shelves of crisps and chocolates. I wrote a dissertation about Britain’s food culture and did a visual project based on my dissertation. My series of illustrations,
Junk Food Benny, represents our modern food culture; the food that we buy and way we eat. The girl is an iconic representation consumerism and indulgence of our modern society. The character demonstrates the eating habits of today’s society. I have chosen to choose a child as an symbolic icon because she reflects on ignorance and naivety. She is also an example of what children in Britain today eats. Using a child in my illustration allows me to use her as a reflection of the culture which older generation has passed down.
