The Big Day:: 2011 MCAD GRADUATION!!!!
Yesterday- May 8th, 2011- I graduated Minneapolis College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration.
The day couldn't have been more gorgeous. It was bright, tons of sun, and actually quite warm! I couldn't believe the day was finally here and my parents and best friend since 3rd grade, Stormie was here to celebrate too.
I couldn't pick and choose the pics I wanted to add up, so I am adding a ton to remember it as well as I can. Here we go...

MCAD Emerging Talent Showcase
Portfolio Day was Friday for all graduating seniors at MCAD. There were supposedly 160 professionals who RSVP'd to show up that were representing local companies, agencies and design firms. Let me tell you- PURE MADNESS. I talked to so many people all in 2.5 hours. It was taxing to say the least, but tried to put my professional self forward and be genuinely interested in everyone that stopped to talk to me. It was a terrific experience and couldn't thank MCAD enough for creating this amazing experience for us all to launch us into the real world and potentially find a job.

| From my seat! |
 |
| Taking a look at portfolios... |
 |
| Professionals making the rounds. |
 |
| It was pure madness... |
I met a lot of terrific people and made some fantastic contacts. I went through approx. 75 business cards Friday and started a new collection of my own! It was a truly positive experience and received a lot of good feedback. A handful of Art Directors asked for my portfolio to be sent directly to them, so I sent those out this morning along with my high hopes.
I have a few favorites already, so we will see if anyone gets back to me sooner than later!
Wish me luck! It's go time...
