update

Well, Im working in the web department, learning alot about web design and function, and even a bit of coding. We make our websites based on a quality score from Google, which requires a certain amount of relevant text as well as images to catch your consumers eye.... ok well, more about that later...for now, im going to head out the door for the night.

Wow.

So, its been a while since Ive updated my blog. Lame, I know. Things have kind of slowed down creatively. I guess you could say Ive hit an artistic snag. I sat back today and looked at the last few weeks and Ive decided to get back on the band wagon... so expect new work asap. I have a few tattoo designs that I am currently working on and am also helping out with a friends senior film. Im hoping to get some freelance work with Thunderbean Animation and also with HappyTrails Animation. These would be great opportunities for my reel. Hope everybody else is being crazy artistic. See you soon!

Meetings, Drawings, Working, Interviewing

Things out here have been pretty good. Ive had meeting with a few different studios Laika, NWEA, and Xplane, and I will soon be meeting with a guy from Flying Rhino. Im excited about it. Im still working a bit, but I am going to need to get another job to help pay for my expenses. Working in a bar is not helping my productivity at all. In other areas, Ive become pretty politically active, which I will blog about, but I did want to explain the artwork that I post.

Busy Busy Bee

Keeping Busy..as usual. I have a job at a little bar in Portland now, to pay the bills before I get a real job. Ive been applying like crazy. At PSU, Laika, Aquent, Respond2 Communications, and quite a few more. Ive also been looking into some of the comic companies in the area. There are quite a few small ones around here. That would be a great job for me. I think. This is a really cool area, very different culture than Detroit. I miss home alot. But thats expected.
On another note, be sure to check out the artclub challenge blog...artclubchallenge.blogspot.com Its a great little club created by Jared Hart, so the CCS crew can continue to stay creative with one another.
Here are some of the sketches that Ive been working on. They arent finished...but thats obvious. haha.

Art Challenge 2

This is my art challenge two piece. Draw with the opposite hand from what you are used to. Ok, done. I drew my right hand with my left hand. Here we go. I miss Detroit.

A Serious Lack of Harry.

Im upset. Harry Potter release date has been moved back to the summer of 09...for financial purposes. Lame. I can handle this loss of intimate time with Harry. Hah.

My senior film

As usual. Its still in the works. But for now, I am happy with it. I will be posting my other collaborative projects from the Iron Animators Competition and The Kalamazoo International Animation Festival Cartoon Challenge.
