I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is Chris Malidore and I'm a 24 year old illustrator. I've done work with a wide variety of clients such as Wizards of The Coast, Fantasy Flight Games, Great White Games/Pinnacle Entertanment, and many many more.
I was spawned and raised in Auburn, Washington and haven't found any real reason to leave it yet. Here I have some wacky cool friends (that's what I tell them at least), a girlfriend that helps to keep me relatively sane, and an undying love for penguins - for no particularly rational reason.
Feel free to say hi, I love to chat with people.
In the mean time, go check out my webpage (the banner below) and check out my illustration work. It'll give you something to do at least instead of reading my on going blog of life crap.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You know those people who you meet and your first reaction is to hold back the urge to hurt them? Just about anybody but them.

Seriously though I'm interested in meeting old friends and acquaintances. Make some new ones, and overall just have a snazzy good time. I've grown out of touch with a lot of people over the years, people that I respect still to this day. I wouldn't mind meeting up with some of them once again.

And of course other artists! Show yourselves! I require artist buddies....

Of Clients, Events, and Moodiness

So, I find myself very depressive the last few weeks - dunno why either.  Perhaps it's just that I've not had a good summer in quite a few years and expect the worst now, perhaps it's dealing wit...
