Keithtron [NEKRONET]

May the fire in my eyes light the way for me....

About Me

CG artist, primarily 3d generalist, but specializing in rigging and technical direction/creative problem solving. Currently freelancing in NYC, and looking for a staff job. Will be interning at Framestore NY for the month of July.
My demo reel, thesis, resume, etc are all available at keithdigital.comI'm the guitarist, programmer, synth player, and melodic singer for Nekronet , and I'm our producer/engineerThe stage is my only addiction, and I'm having some massive withdrawl right nowI go to lots of shows, but it always makes my stage withdrawl a lot worseI'm the most open-minded dude around, and close-minded people drive me f'n insaneI'm also the most chill pacifist around too, but for some reason people still find me intimdating at times... must be the whole 6'4" rocker dude thingI give the best massages that the human race has ever experiencedI'm too damn nice to people for my own good, but nobody will teach me how to be an asshole (but let me know if you have any tips)It takes a lot to piss me off or bother meI'm German, not Asian/Native American/Hawaian/Mexican or anything like that, regardless of what some people seem to thinkSquirrels are cool as hell, and I'm a sucker for cute animals in generalBut that doesn't make me any less hardcore, hahaI'm a somewhat OCD neat freakSomeday I will hunt down and dismember whoever invented "reality" tvI'm up for anything from partying at the clubs to metal shows to trance parties to movies at home to whateverI work out all the time, and feel like shit if I don'tHR Giger rocks hardcoreThe Black Album and The Poison are pretty much the best CDs everJunk/greasy food is the devil, and eating it makes me feel like hell, so don't let me near the stuffMy brothers are the coolest bros aroundI set REALLY high standards for myself, maybe too high sometimesJager does a body goodAnd so does Red Bull, despite that time it reacted weird with some meds and left me practically on my deathbed for daysCurrently accepting applications for roadies (because hauling around a whole car full of gear is a pain in the ass)I hate cell phones and cell phone companies, but can't live without themI'd rather be playing beer pong right nowI hate musically elitist assholes, go die before you start breedingSome day I will prove that they put nicotine in DoritosI'm one of the few guys that doesn't mind sitting through a chick-flickI've played soccer since I was real little, and it effing rulesI taught Chuck Norris everything he knows. True story.

My Interests

- CG/Rigging, and other digital media work
- Music, Guitar/Synth/Singing, and performing/production in general
- Crazy surreal artwork (such as H.R. Giger and Dali)
- Tattoos/Piercings
- Working Out
- Concerts
- Wakeboarding (even though I haven't gotten to do it much since my dad died)
- Soccer
- Dancing, and going out and having a good time

Things that suck:
- Missing the train
- Stupid childish drama
- Close-minded people
- Right-wingers, at least on social issues
- Elitist assholes
- The shittyness of the music industry
- Weak and pathetic people
- Overly messy people
- Junk food
- Being sick
- Slow drivers

Most of that goes without saying though, doesn't it?

I'd like to meet:

Fellow animators/CG artists, fellow musicians, and people into my stuff.
Other than that, I'm just staying in touch with people, but feel free to drop me a line if you'd like.
