# About me
I’m N8. Ever since I was a child I was artistic, sketching from life and beloved cartoons. In High School I was blessed to work at an amusement park as a caricature artist and as a graphic designer for a sign shop on the Chesapeake Bay in Annapolis. My college daze were spent at Ringling College of Art and Design where I honed my abilities in illustration, figure work, computer artwork (even teaching teachers how to use those crazy computers) and photography. One semester, I spent six weeks in a rigorous photography program in Temple University in Tokyo, Japan, learning the value of working hard and playing hard—usually both at the same time.Soon, graduated and all “grown-up”, I was hired as an illustrator/designer at C3 (Creative Consumer Concepts) in Kansas City and worked there for over 3 years. There I developed talent for design, project leadership, and problem solving with clients. Seeking to further elevate my experience, I took the initiative to learn animation and web design, and in the process I created new capabilities and business opportunities for C3. Even after I left the company for new horizons, we’ve maintained a positive business relationship and have worked on several projects together.
Now, with these sharpened skills in tow, I do whatever I can for whomever may need it. Through my travels I have achieved a well-rounded understanding of art and communication. And I have met talented artists along the way who I employ at times to sail with me. On these voyages I have worked with award winning companies, helped friends develop their businesses, produced underground art events, opened communities to new experiences, and explored unique art avenues.

Haha! Thank you so much! Unfortunately I'm not able to work with LeetStreet on their next video, but they were certainly fun. I'm actually working on a personal animation project which hopefully will be well received. It'll be awhile till it's release though. Still is post-production stages.
Thanks for you support and best of luck on your endeavors!

Howdy! Good to hear from you. Please drop me a line some time on the ol' AIM. I hardly come on here anymore, but I really should get back on par. No worries about not getting back to me, I've been busy as well. I heart the Smash Brothers! Haha. I'm going to definitely try and make Naka-con this year!

Awww you're too kind! Are you in Israel? My sister was in Cairo last year for a college semester. She loves the middle East. Someday I hope to see it soon. You like it out there?

YunaFrolov In reply to Studion8 [2008-10-18 07:52:39 +0000 UTC]
Atually, Israel is more a spiritual best to see. You'll enjoy it only if you love old cities and holy places. The only things that are worth coming for are the Dead and the Red Sea, adn it stops here. I think that there are so much more beautiful places to see, so Israel isn't the first choise you must think of when planning a vacation.
But it is nice here, you can come if you want.

Studion8 In reply to YunaFrolov [2008-10-18 14:48:07 +0000 UTC]
Right and truly. I am a fan of both the spiritual history side of Israel and the historic side of the middle East. That area is just to deep and rich with history it's incredible. Thanks for the information though! Keep on rocking over there. I'll certainly keep an eye out for your great photography. I'll have to upload some more of my own photography to share later.
Hearts,
N8
