WIP

Recently, I've been on this Flash kick. Here's a current WIP of what I've been doing so far. Feel free to choose a color scheme or suggest another option. This guy here is Paradox. He is neither angel nor devil, though he appears as both. His mission is to maintain the great balance among all things in order to keep the universe stable. He actually started as a good luck charm drawing I've done on the back of a receipt when I was working for Blockbuster and it just...evolved from there.

More to come, being I have many on the pipeline. I'm all over the place.

Knowledge

Yesterday, I was helping one of my co-workers with an issue regarding a walk cycle. All of a sudden, I was thinking to myself about my time as a teacher's assistant for animation class. I've always had this sort of internal debate regarding whether or not I should go that path. I know that being a teacher is hard work and requires a lot of patience for the infamous salary (Which I really don't care about right now. All that matters is that it pays a LOT more than I'm getting paid now, but that's a different story/rant), but I get this feeling that I'm opening some door for someone, so to speak.

I hope that I'm not sounding like some egotistic jerk, but hey if I have knowledge I share it. In fact, I think we should all do it. However, right now, I'm more content on soaking up knowledge in the art world and applying it more than anything.

Anyway, I'm just babbling away. Off to work.

Wedding stuffs 8-2-08

So we (We being myself, Andrea[my fiance], and her dad) just got back from MW tux where me and the ol' man got fitted. Quincy [My best man] was going to show up, but he got bogged down at work and was unable to attend. I'll call him in the morning to let him know about the fitting details. Interestingly enough, the fitting deadline for all those in the party is my birthday. So I have the task of lighting the proverbial fire under their asses. Fun fun indeed.

In other news, we've decided on the rings and where we're gonna spend the honeymoon. We're not going far at all...nothing exotic, being that cash is tight. Just out of the area for a few days. The venue has been decided (county building for the ceremony on Oct. 3rd and a banquet hall on the 4th). So for those keeping score, all that's left is her dress, invitations (which we're going to personally do), tuxes for everybody in the groom's party, payment of the rings, and the hotel. I'm actually freaking out sorta over the last two because money's already tight as it is and with bills piling, rent, food, and whatever whatever. My personal budget can't really hold that much more. Andrea says I shouldn't worry and yeah, I shouldn't, but I have the habit of feeling uneasy about something, especially of this magnitude, until all of the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed.

So with all that being said, I have a proposition for all of you. Those who contribute to the wedding, be it by cash or gift (preferably at our registry at the Marriott, our hotel of choice) will get a lovely custom commission piece from yours truly as a "Thank you" gift. This gift will match the value of whatever you contribute according to my price point. Consider it opening my commissions to the general public.

Anyway, if you're in, just email me or message me.

I'm tired, so, I'll end this post here. Till we meet again, kiddies. :)
