What's up everyone for those of you who didn't know I was doing an intership in NY, at Animation Collective. Now for the bad news, I only did it for three days and I had to give it up, reason being it was way to expensive. I was paying 50 bucks a day for three days a week and on top of that I had car payment , car insurance, phone bill, gas and I'm doing all this working part time, my job had cut my hours. I felt like shit when I gave it up, I didn't even want to draw anymore. Then I was planning on going to the Wizard World convetion in Philly and have some of my art work up, I was going to use the stimulus check but that when down the hole when I found out that I was only getting half of what I thought I was getting, so it turns out I will not be able to make it this year at all. After that I didn't even draw at all I didn't fell motivated so I just played Twilight Princess and tried to forget it all. I just fell like everything I try just never works. But I'm slowly getting back in the art by doing sketches of Link, so very soon I'll post up some new work. For anyone out there who are also going through struggles, never give up skies the limit.

What's up everyone, I just got back from New York I had an interview at Animation Collective for a intern position. It was pretty cool to be in an animation studio but anyway they were very impressed with my work so hopfuly I hear from them soon about when I start, they also hire there interns so I think Im good. The only problem is it's 3 hours from me and it cost 50 bucks a day to get there so I hope that I get picked up after the intern that way I can move closer to NY...well wish me luck.

Well, I just graduated and the only thing thats on my mind now is, "whats next". Where do I go from here? I feel like I want to do so much now, I want to get my hands on everything but I need to take one step at a time. My next step is to start my comic book and see how far that goes. After that I plan to start my short animation, then maybe a clothing line, after that I want to be on the red carpet next year for being nominated for best animated short and then I'll make history but thats a big dream I need to make smaller goals for myself and take it little by little. Well from now on you'll see more of my work on DA and I plan to be at the Wizard World with my comic book and some other artwork so I'll keep everyone informed on how things are going.
