The eggman cometh! Back with a vengeance!

For those of you who didn't know, for the past 9 months, I've been working a "real", day-job as a graphic designer and doing Hatch at night and on the weekends. I didn't want to put my working relationships with my wonderful clients at risk, so I didn't make a big announcement when I took this on, but now that I'm back, I'm screaming from the (virtual) rooftops! This explains those cryptic emails sent from 2:00 am, eh? I knew it was going to be temporary, but wasn't sure how temporary. Now I know! As of this week, I'm back at the helm of Hatch Creative full-time.

And, now that I'm back, there are a few changes I'd like to let everyone know about:

In the next few months, I'll be moving Hatch Creative into an office with a colleague of mine to be the Creative Director/Graphic Designer on a regional bi-monthly 160+ page magazine. It's not enough to be my full-time gig, but since it's a bi-monthly magazine, there's plenty of time for me to devote to Hatch Creative. I'll be much more accessible than I have been in the past 9 months. It only gets better...

To help offset some of my workload, I've got someone helping out with Web changes and updates, as they've been piling up rather quickly. In the future, please send any website update requests to UPDATES@HATCHCREATIVE.NET. I'll be making sure these get done in a more timely manner. Normal correspondence should continue to be sent to john@hatchcreative.net.

If you've been to this here website recently, you'll notice that I won two Silver Awards from the Louisville Graphic Design Association. This was the LGDA 100 Show, and I won for my graphic design, not for a website! What's that, you say? Yup, along with web design, I also do print design. If you need brochures, posters, trade show booths, annual reports, mailers, a new identity package or anything that needs to look good on paper, I'm your man. I'm not moving away from web design, but I want you all to know that these other services are available to you. I would love to sit down with you and discuss any possible projects I can help you with.

Also, my family has a new little one around the house. Our 2nd daughter, Harper Sue Wurth was born May 1 at 4:25am. Weighing in at 8 lbs. 3 oz., she's as awesome as her big sister, Roxy. I hope most of you got my announcement. If not, I apologize and blame it on the lack of sleep. ;)

So, I think that's it for all the news. Please keep me in mind for your next design project. Be it web, print, or heck, even graffiti. I'll be around...promise! Feel free to call me at 502-479-0641 with any questions or concerns.

I'd like to offer a heartfelt thanks to all of my awesome clients for putting up with my elusiveness lately. I am excited to strengthen and continue our relationships as we go forward.

Please remember to send any website updates to UPDATES@HATCHCREATIVE.NET from now on!
