Man, it's been a while. I decided to post when I noticed my last entry was August...about my new job...that I've had for five months now and still going good.

Things have been good and some things have been bad. Because of both of these reasons I haven't been doing a lot of art. However, now that the dust is settling, I'm hoping that will change soon.

Wish me luck!

I know I've been pretty "hush hush" about my job searching and findings. It's just always how I've looked for jobs in fear of "jinxing" them. I also didn't want to mention that I had found a job until I actually went in and finalized the paperwork. So....here it is...

Yesterday was my first day at Cat Daddy Games (a division of Take Two Interactive)! To make a long story short I'm "in training" (though I will get paid) and my job title is Technical Artist. It will be this way for the next six months before I get hired on full time. The best part is that my first week there they are doing art classes (a.k.a. meetings) for the artist there, so I get to meet everyone, get paid to learn new things, and learn how to do the job without really taking up someones time to do so.

The job is in Bellevue, though it's not a terribly long commute, I still hate driving. I will see how it goes, but if all goes according to plan, I just might be moving out to Bellevue sometime next year. I suppose I'll wait for that time to come before making any plans, but in the meantime...HUZZAH!

I hit 2,000 page views sometime within the past week. Not sure when, how or who, but HUZZAH!

Just wondering who out there has gotten any tattoos/body piercings in the greater Seattle area and can suggest a good/safe place to go.

For the vaguely curious....it's not for me, not at this time anyway.

As some of you may, or may not, know...the latest game at iWin Division 90 was "shelved" which is a polite term for "canceled" I suppose. This mean my contract was terminated. Now, the guys at iWin are nice and are going to keep in touch. They could possibly offer me more work in the future either though them or the main office, but I'm not holding my breath. So...it's back to the job searching.

I'm still having a few issues with my domain name which are slowly but surely getting resolved. But until then, I have to have a website up for potential employers to view. This is what I have so far, though I do have some tweaking left to do and still want to add a few things: [link]

Since the game is "shelved", and I can put images up on my website, I guess it's okay to post things here as well. So, I will start putting up a few images of what I've been working on over the past six months.

Again, any constructive criticism on website would be appreciated and helpful.
