About Me

 Hello! My name is Adeleine, but you can call me Addie; I’m a Graphic Designer with a love for fantasy and mythical creatures. 

Here I am!

I grew up in Virginia, near Powhatan. I don’t remember much from the time I lived there, but I know my brothers and I shared an awesome tree house, and we had a cat named Beto that didn’t like me much. When I was still very young, my family and I packed up and moved to southern Texas. We lived there until 2018, then we moved to Austin, Texas. Since the state is so large, that was about a 6 hour move, and we’ve been there ever since. I never really had a great interest in art until my brother went to college. Wanting to send my brother things to cheer him up, but not having much to say, I started looking up things I could copy in drawing and coloring and send to him. Adobe Photoshop 2002 was my first introduction to Adobe programs, and I was easily drawn into the unique program, actually using it to make Facebook post art and presentation slides for my church. I thought my drawing ability was non-existent upon arrival to college, but the introductory classes helped to draw out (pun intended) skills I didn’t know I had.

Through my years at PCC, I have come to love clay sculpting, black and white drawing, and Adobe Illustrator. I used my Illustrator skill to accomplish an internship with IDEA Public Schools, and have given many of my completed projects as gifts to friends and family. The journey of Graphic Design at PCC has been a roller coaster

from start to finish, and there were plenty of times I thought I couldn’t make it. But now that I am nearing the end of the road, I look back and see how much I stressed over little stuff. Art, for me, is relaxing and fun and a great way to just spread happiness. I plan to continue making art for friends and family alike, and enjoying the joy it brings them. Follow me on Instagram @addie.g_kaiju if you would like to see what other art works I produce in the future. For any questions about commission work, email me at addiegracefreeman@gmail.com.

Graphic Design Dreaming

This is a very old post from my previous blog, containing what my high-school view of my future career would be. Needless to say, I had high hopes for myself, and I would probably change it if I were given the same assignment today. However, it never hurts to dream, and I think it is good to see the goals I had in mind. For this reason, I wanted to keep this post around, as an inspiration to always push for your goals, no matter how unrealistic. I have another literary piece from school today, but this time it is a paper that I had to write for English class. My teacher gave the assignment to write a short composition, one paragraph, on what I think my life will be like in the future. I was to write it from a specific point of view, but not state outright what I was trying to imply. Thus, I would need to write hints at what job I have, but not state "I am a..."  Because I am thinking of studying to be a graphic designer, I was to think about what life as a graphic designer mi...

Fall 2018 Projects

This blog post is basically just a posting of my project portfolios for my Fall 2018 semester art classes at college. The pictures are put in order by date, so the first picture would be the first project I had due for the class, and the last picture would be the last project.  I had two art classes in this semester, Principles of Drawing and Design Fundamentals I. Each of the pictures here will have the size and material used, along with a brief description of what was asked of us, listed beneath it.  Principles of Drawing All of the projects in Principles of Drawing were freehand drawings. Although they were based off an original source, there was no tracing from the original source allowed on penalty of failing the project. We would make our design or outline of our project on tracing paper, and once that was complete we would transfer from the tracing paper to Bristol board. This is because tracing paper is relatively cheap and easy to erase on, whereas Bristol board ...
