Whats Going On

I've been very busy lately and haven't posted things the way I want to. I am going to make some huge changes to this blog soon! Hopefully then I can attract readers other than those who googled 'hot naked girls with snakes" (thanks blogger stats) =(
Since last year, I have worked at Cuppa Coffee as an Intern>Inbetweener>Animation/Fixing person>Production Co-ordinator, then did some cool stuff for MTV, and now I currently am working for an awesome social gaming studio in Manhattan; remotely though. Super busy fun year. Besides work, I have been:

 doing XXXXXX-treme sports 

in Arizona (I go often-LOVE it there, well, more the remote areas)

Drawing/Eating/People Watching

Walking Around

That reminds me, I need to upload my Arizona sketches as soon as I find them.
ALSO I went to CTN2010 which was amazing as well! Met so many talented and interesting people and ironically got to know my Toronto friends better as well ;) lets all keep in touch yes?

fun

the story here is that only a few months ago i discovered the joys of Painter. Being the traditionalist I am, I've always had issues with Photoshop because it simply wasn't intuitive. I found Painter to be AMAZING for me. I was fiddling around with it, getting used to it and so I did a few fun pieces. (from youtube ref)
