One of my best friends from school, Bennett, is from Dallas, but you would never know that just from talking to him. His dad is from Boston, and his mom is Australian, so he does not really have a southern accent. His dad is a personal injury attorney in Dallas and his mom is an interior designer. I am pretty sure that Bennett gets his creative side from his mom. He really is one of the most talented graphic designers I have ever met. He sent me a creative resume that he had been sending to graphic design firms and marketing and advertising agencies so I could edit it for him, and I was incredibly impressed. Right now he is living in Austin, which just does not seem to be the place to start a graphic design career. He said the biggest firm there just recently fired around twenty employees, so he did not think he had much of a shot getting a job there. He has been considering a move to Chicago, though, where there would be much more of an opportunity for employment. I would be really excited if he actually did move to Chicago. I would get to see him much more often.
