Beginning work on the Portfolio. Disney and a little shove inspired me!

I am beginning work on a new 2D animation portfolio to take with me to Burbank, CA. Times are really bad right now, and I have been going through a 2 year post college depression. I have written out a mini schedule for myself to follow for the next couple months, and I hope this will give me the kind of work that can start to change my life and career plans. I am tired of feeling sorry for myself. I am tired of crying the blues over student loans going to waste. I am tired of bussing tables when I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animation. I WANT TO ANIMATE!!! Like a phoenix I will rise from the ashes!!! Ok... a little dramatic, but I needed the pep talk.

What got me back on track? Disney and my friend Nicole. Disney is going back to what I used to love most about them... their 2D animated movies! They are releasing a movie titled : The Princess and the Frog. I found hope in a world obsessed with 3D. I can still do what I love!!

Nicole is a dear friend who I don't get to see very often, but I love her anyway! She makes me feel like I can do anything in a minute, even when I have beaten myself up for years saying I can't. Love ya Nicole!!

Graduation!

Finally, I have passed all my classes and am graduating on Thursday. If anybody would like to come see my work I will be at the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas on Thursday, March 22nd. They ley the public come in from 1:00pm-2:00pm, so don't come earlier unless you have an invitation from the Art Institute. Now that school is out of the way, I plan on having some good quality time with my independent animation project called Ziki the Tikiman. Hopefully I can show you more about this project as it progresses.

Working Hard

I'm working hard on my Demo Reel for graduation right now. I have a 2D animation and two 3D animations in the works. I'm also working on some character designs and concept art on the side. I'll post more as I finish.
