It's a boy!

About Me

I'm a full time software test engineer in the games industry, a part time artist, and a just-barely-above-average guitarist.

I am also a full time student at the Animation Mentor school of animation.

I enjoy long walks in the park and romantic candlelight dinners. Turnons include my wife and my wife naked. Turnoffs include people who use lame jokes like copying bio styles from Playboy.

Here is my latest animation created during my most recent quarter at AnimationMentor.com:

Books:

The books I read are mostly made up of art training books, though I do love comic strips as well. As for art books, "The Illusion of Life," and "The Animator's Survival Kit" are two of the top ones. Comic strips would be Bloom County/Outland/Opus, Calvin and Hobbes, Citizen Dog and Liberty Meadows. I'll also read just about anything by Stephen King, as well as autobiographies for bands like David Lee Roth and Motley Crue. Frankly, most of my reading is done ...

Heroes:

My heroes really are anyone out there who has chosen to do what makes them happy.Oh... and Richard Simmons, but I guess he sort of falls into that category too.

My Blog

Home

The word "home" is a crazy word.  I mean, I own a "home," and I tell everyone at work that I'm going "home" each night.  I have "home" owner's insurance, and recently looked into refinancing...

I''m alive.

I swear I'm alive, even though my swank MySpace pad doesn't get updated too often.  I'm taking night classes right now, and so that sucks up at least 4 hours each night and around 15-20 on the we...

Good Husband, Worker and Shape

I think I may be too old for MySpace

As much as I hate to admit it, and believe me I do, I'm beginning to get the odd feeling that I'm right in that area between being a suitable age for MySpace and being that creepy guy who really has n...

Today's blog is a two-part blog, and both parts have to do with life.  The drawing of it, and the living of it. First of all, I'm back in life drawing classes after almost 3 years.  I found ...
