Portland Oregon....my new home!

So. I got into Portland about 3 days ago. Im already looking for a job, I love craigslist.  Alot of great things are going on in this area. I live just outside out the city, in Milwaukee. Its a really nice area and Darkhorse comics is right around the block. In walking distance. That would be amazing, but unfortunately they dont have any internships available. Lame. Im looking into a couple of other opportunities like some local galleries and other graphics places...and whatnot. I am hoping to take a visit to Laika in the next week here.  I also have yet to visit the coast. Which would be awesome, cuz Ive never been the the Pacific before. Anyways, my bed is being delivered right now....ok, later. more updates o the artwork in a bit.

more work will be posted soon.

So alot of really great progress is being made.  Since I got my wacom I am having a ton of fun.  I am also ready to start working in Flash again. (its been awhile). I ve made some pretty huge decisions lately. In 2 weeks I am moving to Portland Oregon, its official! I am really excited about the move.  It is something that I have been thinking about for a very long time, and I think it will be a good experience.  Maybe Ill be able to get a real job! 

In other related news, I have decided to sell my tattoo equipment. This was not an easy decision to make, but I need to make some extra money before I leave to start my new life.  Not only that, but my tattooing experience is based on me knowing people, and since I wont know anyone in Portland, I feel like it is the right decision to make right now.

there are things happening in detroit!!

i finally got my wacom tablet in the other day. i am loving it, its even bigger then the last one that i  had! ive been having fun getting used to using it, messing with some old work, and working on some digital portraits for my pals and family. tattooing is coming along great. and im getting really really excited about moving to portland. my website is almost done.

so...progress....

i realize i am posting different versions of the same basic thing...over, and over, and over again. but hey....seeing the development is good right? here are the final layouts for Maudies Closet. As well as other nonsense. 

I am putting up my website this week, and hope to put out my resume by the next week. I need to get something lined up before I move to Portland. But I figure that I will have a better ahcnae of getting a job out there, if I already live there.

Alright. PS. Brian Boardman is the greatest web designer ever.

I need a wacom tablet. desperately.

So, the apprenticeship at BABYDOLLS TATOOS is going great, though I have decided officially to move to Portland.  Its a ridiculous move.  But I think I am up for the challenge, plus there are some great studios and creative companies out that way....and there is nothing here for me in Detroit.  Here is some more of the stuff that I have been doing. The last post involved some flying elephants and hula pin up, I really want to finish those digitally, along with some zombie pin ups 

I have been working on, but apparently it is going to take longer than expected.  I am working 45 hours a week to save up money to go.  But I still have to find time to put up my website, and get my portfolio finalized.  My resume is going to be posted soon.

Wish me luck...and let me know if you want a tattoo, its really fun to do.

Posting some new and old work. Random.

So school is finished! i am officially a graduate of the College for Creative Studies in Detroit MI! There are a lot of really exciting thing going on right now.  I have started tattooing alot.  I got a great apprenticeship at BABYDOLLS in Taylor MI.  While that is all getting underway, I have also picked up some freelance work with Thunderbean Animation, with Steve Stanchfield, it should be some good stuff to put on my reel.

Big NEWS!:: I am moving to Portland Oregon in August. I am definitely excited about the whole thing and I really want a job at Laika, but we will see where I end up.

anywho, as promised, here is some work.

graduation is looming in my future.

i think we are all freaking out right now.

no seriously though, I love CCS. its really has been a great experience. I will be posting my final senior work shortly.
