# About me
Graduated with a B.A. in Traditional Animation from Columbia College Chicago, then high tailed it out of the mid-west to beautiful Burbank, CA to intern at Nickelodeon Animation. I currently design and sketch for Disney while indulging in freelance illustration on the side!I illustrate a comic called Nerds with Beards as well as construct brain vomit onto a page and call it a comic at Life Scientist .
I love to tell stories and draw red headed ladykins!

The internship went really well! It was an amazing experience. My last week was last week (HA)! Now I'm just canvassing the town with my resume and interviewing at places trying to land my foot in a doorway. We'll see how that goes! How are things with you and your family?!

Well that's awesome! Did you learn a lot working at Nick? What kind of animation stuff did they have you doing?
I'm doing great! Thanks for asking!
We got custody of the kids in early April and in just the last 3 months of school we got all three of them almost completely caught up! Calli and Nick were both a year or two behind in reading and math. Oddly enough though, Alex is the only one that needs summer school. So since we didn't have $280 laying around for her 2 summer school sessions, I'm planning to finish 20 commissions at $15/per to earn the $300 I need to pay for her summer school. And I'm giving away some free t-shirts to go with them. Hey, you interested in helping a friend keep his daughter in school?

Oh, I wish I could help! Unfortunately, I'm barely making it financially right now. I know that well wishing isn't going to pay the tuition but I do hope that Alex gets to go. Good luck!
I did learn a lot working at Nick- meeting with professional artists and non-artists, getting some insight on the "biz" as well as trying to figure out where I might be able to fit into the mold. I mainly worked with the Production team, shipping assets, fixing storyboard templates, and things that would make the whole process go smoother for the whole crew.
I hope things are going well for you and your family!

Well we went ahead and paid for her school and hoped that we could make ends meet after the fact. It's been a challenge to make sure everyone had food this past month. We were down to ramen and potatoes for a while, but we scraped it together. Thanks for the thought tho.
The Nick internship does sound cool. So are you still as jazzed about working in animation as you were when you started?
Things are doing okay for us here. More commissions would have been nice, but we're managing. And my webcomic in particular has been doing rather well! I had 42 new watchers this month by my last count! Oh and we're having a birthday party for the kids end of this week. Thankfully we didn't have to pay for it, we couldn't afford it on our own.

Quick question, what do you think of my new DeviantID? I put it at the top right of my page..... trust me, you won't miss it. XD
If it has a black border, that means your resolution is messed up..... sorry, but it does. It is a PNG image so it displays a black border around the image when it is compressed and made smaller.

casassy In reply to skylerskinner [2009-12-07 06:28:17 +0000 UTC]
My resolution must be a.o.k. and in no need of medical attention: no black border. Yay! I commented on the ID gallery page!

skylerskinner In reply to casassy [2009-12-07 06:31:15 +0000 UTC]
Yea, sorry about that. I like to give that warning when I upload a PNG because some people think I made that black border on purpose and that does not show a good artist.
Thanks for commenting.

Hey! Yeah, seriously, its been a long time. We should hang out soon. Are you still around Chicago? I have a drawing group that meets up every other thursday. Jim comes too. If you're around, you should come draw with us.

I am still in Chicago! I don't know for how long but while I am here I would love to come to your drawing group. What are the details? Time, etc? I have two classes on Thursdays so it might not be for a couple of weeks but I am so in!
How have you been?! Still working at the bank?

Capnchef In reply to casassy [2009-12-16 01:32:07 +0000 UTC]
Its usually at 630 on thursdays. It used to be at Mercury Cafe, but that closed down in October, so we're trying out new places til we find one we like. I asked the group founder, Jamie, to invite you on facebook. Its called Creative Sessions.
I'm doing great. Nope, not at the bank anymore. I Got a job as a graphic artist for a screenprinting company in Forest Park. Btw, did I tell you I moved out to Forest Park? Remember Elizabeth who worked with us at borders? She's my roommate.
How've you been?

That's awesome you two are roommates now! She's a real sweet girl. Tell her I said, Hi.
I received the invite. I normally have classes on Thursdays so it may be a long while before I am able to attend! I've heard of the Mercury Cafe on several occasions, it seems to be quite a hub for creative types.
Congratulations on your job! It's so nice to have something related to your career!
I've been good. Boggled down with various classes at Second City and Columbia. I'm animating a lot recently, and trying to improve my art skills. If you have any pointers, enlighten me!

I've always considered myself to enjoy being an early bird but 2am is my expiration time and I never make the ideal wake up time of 6. Maybe when I'm 50, eh! Are you in school for photography? Or what's going on with that!
