Personal Stuff Update
Journal Entry: Wed May 7, 2008, 11:51 PM
So here's a bit of a life update. It's just a lot of introspection.
I've been thinking a lot about going back to school to get a real education in animation like I wanted and not just a bullshit "focus". Maybe I'm overtired, but when I thought about how I left college for reasons I won't bother going into here, floundered for a while, unprepared for the real world, and got one non-art-related job just to move onto another one in the next month or so, the lightbulb in my brain finally turned on and I realized what's really been upsetting me for the past 5 years. I just haven't been doing what I love, which is animation and film. And I would try to supplement by doing illustration work, but I honestly don't like it as much at all, and have no idea what sort of jobs I could get, where I could get them, and who would even be interested besides maybe (if I get lucky) a couple independent comic publishers. (Not that doing animation would narrow the scope of that problem down, but it would certainly make me a lot happier.) And don't get me wrong, I fully intend to continue my comic work, because I love telling a story, but I don't know. I guess I have to do some soul-searching or something. So yeah, if I'm absent for a while, signing on way way less than I already do, or fail to comment, it's because I'm trying to enact positive change in my life right now.
Lastly, thanks so much to everyone who's stopped by and enjoyed my work even just a little. It's been fun to be artistically social on the 'net again and, being kind of mushy, I really appreciate every little thing quite a lot. If anyone's ever wanted to chat, don't be shy about throwing me a note or something, just don't be surprised if I don't respond right away.
Cheers!

Dynamic. Sickly dyanamic work. I seriously dig the amazing groove that is your gallery. You've got quite the hand for frenetic poses and energy-laden linework. Not to mention the addictive style of colouring I've seen. And your sense of perspective is insanely funky--much repsect to your ability to distort it beyond function and convince me it's totally realistic.
Absolutely awesome gallery, man.
(I re-found you!)
