I realized that a lot has happened since the last time I posted here, so here's a quick news post while I eat lunch.
I've been hired as a junior artist for Big Fish Games's Oakland studio, Self Aware. I now live in the bay area, I've been working for a week and a half so far, and everything is awesome and great. It's full time, I'm a salaried worker, I've been making awesome things, and the benefits are super good ahhhh. Everyone here is awesome and there is no bullcrap in terms of internal bureaucracy or anything like that and ahhhh you guys I feel like I hit some kind of weird jackpot here.
I spent a lot of college thinking that I'd either a) take at least a year to get a job or b) not get a studio job at all and work at starbucks for the rest of my life while working on personal art and failing.
Somehow I've ended up here, and this is the happiest I've been in a really long time.
IF YOU LIVE IN THE BAY AREA, POKE ME. I'm still new here and I have no idea what I'm doing hahaha

No I'm not dead, but...
...this account might be haha
Hi guys! Just posting up a journal because recently someone found me on tumblr and told me that they thought that maybe I had died. Whoops. I guess I should just outright say that I don't much use this account anymore.
I'll keep this account alive because I use it to check notes and there are a couple of commissions that I still need to finish up where the only contact they have with me is here (i'm working on them, hoping to get it all done in October). So i'm not deleting this thing, i just won't be updating much if at all.
Life update: It's been pretty damn good here. My main duty at the studio is character
I AM NOT DEAD I SWEAR
Someone brought to my attention that I haven't been on deviantART for a VERY LONG TIME, and I want to apologize for that right now. It appears I've been eaten by the tumblr beast, and I've ended up venting all of my sordid troubles there. Also I haven't made any good art for a while *laughs* but there you go, I guess...
A lot has been going on on my side of things...After a particularly bad set of breakdowns, I finally went to the clinic, and I was diagnosed with extreme depression and a month and a half ago they put me on anti-depressants, and I am a much happier person, strangely enough. I never knew that there was actually the possibility
Happy Towel Day, All
Do you know where your towel is at?
Tell me what your towel looks like and what you've done with it so far today--or what you plan on doing.
Mine's good old fashioned purple. I am planning on using it as a whip to ward off the coyotes pawing at my back door.
Newly American and Graduated
Sorry that I haven't been around much lately--so much has been happening, and I've been so busy, it's sometimes crazy for me to think that I used to post really really frequently here. Hopefully I'll be able to do that again. We'll see. :3
Anyway, some really great news!
AS OF SATURDAY, I'VE GRADUATED FROM UNIVERSITY. You are now looking at someone who has a bachelors in art, and who will hopefully not be one of the many who get such a degree only to have it waste away in a corner, never used. I'm going to be tweaking up a (better than i have at the moment) portfolio, and then we'll see. But, anyway, I feel like I can take on the world. May
