Well, I haven't posted in forever..... might as well now. Making livejournal live up to what it is- a place for whining and complaints....

I lost my job.
The lovely lovely state of the economy has made publishers conscerned, and therefore it hurts the people developing them. 15 people were laid off, every DS character artist.
I figure, my options now are freelance and military simulation. I updated my website and I've been passing around my portfolio.

Wish me luck. I'm supposed to be moving soon :(

Improv WoW party this weekend?

2008-11-14T07:24:53Z

Ah well, I guess this just goes out to Matt, Rissy and Brian, Laina, and whoever else that plays WoW nearby, but I was wondering what you guys thought about having like a WoW party this weekend. I'm not sure where we'd go (my place is fine but small and parke has his parents so...)
Just let me know who would be able to do this.

mmmmmmaaaaaaaannnnnnn

Livejournal. It's the best place to rant about life when you just don't know who to talk to about it.
Gah, sometimes I just get sick of life. I sit around staring at the wall trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing and I just draw a blank. Defaulting to fishing in WoW or some other stupid shit that isn't accomplishing anything. It's such a simple mind numbing game sometimes, it compliments everything else that's going on right now. Simple and mind numbing.

I guess I need motivation here. I miss drawing. I miss seeing friends (damn you all for living so far away). Everything is becoming so repetative. Even with the little breaks, like seeing NIN in concert again, or whatever, I'm just having a hard time feeling satisfied with living.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I mean, sure, you figure look, this girl has a plan, she knows she wants to get off her ass and be a real artist again, but when I pick up that paper and pencil nothing comes out but scribbles. Paintings are a mess. There's some kind of barrier I just can't find a way over.

Ah whatever, this is probably all in vain. I know once wotlk is installed on my comptuer It'll be a lost cause.

On another note: gratz on your accomplishment Obama. I tried to help and Florida went democratic so who knows, maybe I did. First time voter, woot. Also, it was cool to see you in line Erich.

BRING YOUR WATER WEAPONS

We're celebrating my birthday here guys :(

Birthday Blast!!!

2008-07-23T16:11:11Z

Hey guys- my birthday's coming up- and in response I'm planning a water gun fight.
The deal is it would be either after work (after 7pm) on friday, or both that day and sometime saturday. I just want to see who could make what. This is all pertaining to the August 1st - 2nd days, not this weekend ;)

Come prepared- bring your own watergun of course.
I'm open to suggestions on location. I figure we could probably do it in some park.

HAPPY ALIVE DAY

ENJOY YOUR AGING!!!

Now for the wait

2008-05-21T04:04:51Z

In about a week I should find out if I get the second interview. That interview is a test of character- you go out to eat to see if you get along with everyone else. I have no doubt on whether or not I can get along with these people. I've got my hopes up, fingers crossed, wishing dolls out, whatever. I guess we'll see if I'm good enough for n-space.
Until then, all I can do is wait, and hope.

2008-05-17T23:17:34Z

Have you ever thought, "man, I've got to put this money somewhere so I don't lose it- I better find a good place" and then never been able to find the money again>
Because yeah
That sucks.

I just lost over half the money I sold my car for.

Movie time

2008-05-05T17:10:04Z

Hey- it's been a while since I used livejournal to see who wants to see a movie- but you know- it's worth it for this.

Speed Racer- Thursday Midnight showing- Winter Park Village

WHO'S READY FOR THIS

my god....

GTA4 has
THE INTERNET

What....

2008-04-29T12:44:03Z

So GTA IV came out yesterday. I put it in my Xbox 360 and 5 minutes later it overheats. I got to see the first 10 minutes of the game after three tries. Today I tried running it and I could feel it gradually starting to overheat again. When I took the disk out and put in Devil May Cry 4 it stayed at a steady pace, no overheating. I don’t know if it’s a hardware or software problem. Has anyone heard of a dvd overheating an Xbox system after 5 minutes? Looks like I’m calling Xbox when I get home tonight.

Mr. Barface!!!

HEY EVERYONE! MEET MR. BARKFACE!

Dominance War

2008-02-24T22:03:33Z

So guys- I'm entering the dominance war. Go to dominancewar.com if you want to know what it is. Anyways- I'm taking a vote on which 0sketch to take further

What's your vote? Fire or Lightning? (yes it's not water)
Phoenix or lobsterman? I like them both equally, and I need to pick
one of the ideas so I can go with it and alter the designs (ie. might
put armor on the phoenix, different heads, etc)

I haven't posted in a while....

2008-02-06T05:14:39Z

I figured I'd make a post, since I haven't done so yet this year. For all those who wonder- yes, I'm alive. I've been working full-time and :gasp: raiding in WoW. As happy as I am about those shining purps in my inventory- I'm sure no one here really cares to know.

Things at the new job are great, they love me, but I'm really lost in the world of military sim stuff. I don't know... it's hard to explain and it'd take longer than I'd want.

I can't stop thinking about Devil May Cry 4.
Swords and guns and fists and Dante. Did I mention Dante? And hey- his younger clone dude.
Oh man oh man...

Edit: Also- I miss hanging out with everyone. We'll have to plan something sometime :\ Damn avalon park - winter park travel time.

SEE YA

BYE GUYS GOING TO GERMANY SEE YA NEXT YEAR!

The Golden Compass (tues)

2007-12-10T02:38:26Z

Hey guys! Making plans to go see the Golden Compass on Tuesday and bank in on my free popcorn. So far Matt, Rissy and Parke can possibly go- trying to see who else is interested.

2007-11-29T20:15:13Z

I'm bored so I'm stealing Parke's idea.

Post pics of space itt
(Also- deal with my non- lj cut because I'm lazy)

2007-11-25T23:13:24Z

So, I moved, I'm living on my own. It's weird.

Also, I have a job lined up and it looks like I'll be staying in Florida for another year. It's not video games, (more military sim work) but hey, it should be fun.

I guess now it's time for some kind of life revelation or something. Maybe I should start acting like an artist again.

Jones soda

2007-11-13T17:22:36Z

I hear they brought back the brussells sprout soda.
I can only hope this is a joke.

I decided to act nostalgicly on this two year old experience of mine- and pieced together a single image to represent the event.

Also- forgot to make the obligatory girlfriend OMG ITS OUR TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY post. :)
So that was 11/11/07 and we definitely ruled the day. Thanks for being a great boyfriend Parke- I love you!
<3!!!!!

Art test #?

2007-11-07T09:12:52Z

Maybe I'll build a portfolio out of art tests.

Here's a recent one I did for a company in the Boston,MA area for a Nintendo DS modeling position.
http://www.creatstudios.com/

The job in Canada fell through horribly- pretty much- the guy wanted to do an interview and as soon as he found out I was in Florida everything went downhill, fast, and ended in a very rude rejection e-mail explaining the models coming from people 2 hours away were improving.
