See you all at CalArts again this fall. ;) This has been a pretty interesting summer. Went on a diet (and by diet I mean, just cutting back on how much I eat, and replacing bread and rice with vegetables) and lost ten pounds. YAY! It was kind of weird at first. I think depriving my body of what it was used to just made it hungrier for other things - so, the first few weeks I was acting REALLY out of character. On the OTHER hand... my head/body felt way better than before and still does. My drawing has seriously improved, I think. Speaking of... I really, really REALLY need to scan in some recent work. I've got literally hundreds of drawings

It seems that the financial crunch has finally caught up to me. I can no longer afford to take on any more debt. Whatever I pay now needs to be out-of-pocket; impossible, as such money does not exist... yet. In the next year my goal is earn enough money through various commissions to return to school. I'm going to miss the department, but I guess it's time to start flying, ready or not.

5,000 Pageviews! No, there's more good stuff to write bout.  First semester of my second year is over and boy have I learned a lot! (technology-wise) I'm really getting into CG right now - modeling especially, though animation as always continues to captivate me. :) Goals for the new year: -Assemble a general portfolio, as well as portfolios tailored for every company I would like to intern at -Become more confident: develop and strengthen my own voice, whatever it is. -Get better at animating (volumes! X( ), figure out how to use Flash. -Make friends. Seriously. :( The mental/social/emotional isolation at school drives me nuts sometim
