I consider myself a 'multi-media' artist. I have training in both digital and traditional techniques. Currently, I am working as a painter for a stained glass studio and a graphic artist contractor for a home school company. Soon, I am hoping to expand and use my degree in computer graphics, as soon as I finish grad school.
After a brief break, I return for summer classes. This is a special class where I get to work with Dreamworks. It is intense as they are basically 'commissioning' these 30 second shorts and are expecting top-notch quality. I am going into my third week and so far I am learning quite a lot.
In August, I am going to SIGGRPAH http://s2012.siggraph.org/ as a student volunteer and will possibly be participating in SIGGRAPH dailies with this summer course stuff. http://s2012.siggraph.org/attendees/siggraph-dailies HOPEFULLY I will be able to do some super awesome networking (and procure one of the coveted Renderman Teapots) We shall see. But
This semester is trying to kill me slowly. I can't wait to be on the other side of this so I can just put it behind me and feel like a person again.
If you really care, I found a nifty little tumblr account right here: http://handbaskethell.tumblr.com/ you should totally check it out, this writer is genius.
Total genius! I SWEAR!

Oh no, you totally pictured it, didn't you?
