It's the year of the blog

I realized I haven't updated this web log in waaayy too long, so to sum up:

I was laid off from my previous job (they ran out of stuff for me to do and weren't willing to keep me on nor move me to a higher position)
I lucked into a part-time Production Internship (volunteered at the Annies, met a producer who mentioned they were looking for interns)
I landed a Story internship with the same studio, also part time (adding together to 5x a week, or "full time")

Both internships are unpaid, which sounds like a bummer but I'd rather be unpaid and be making contacts and building resume stock than simply being unpaid. Plus, I'm fortunate to have money saved up and supportive parents.

Check back again tomorrow and I'll post images of where I live!

UPDATE holy crap

Hey all! I've graduated from UCF with a degree in Digital Media: Visual Language and I've since moved out west to California! I've got an apartment, a job, and I'm stil alive to boot!

So many things going on. Work keeps me busy and I was surprised to find out the average workday in the CG industry is 9am-7pm (bummer).

I trying to decide which "path" I want to try to follow- 3D or 2D, animator or rigger, or Production. All interest me heavily but it's hard finding the time to work on personal stuff for the more art-related fields (animation especially).

Speaking of personal animation I'm in the process (ie, started but shelved due to lack of time) of animating a comic from one of my favorite authors, Kate Beaton. You can read the comic here.

Hopefully I can find the time to finish that up. I'll post the character sheets later too.

I'm also working on webcomics to keep me dedicated to art every day and you can view them here.
