# About me
I've been doodling since I was 5. You'd think for someone who's been in love with graphite and paper, she would have better projects up!I went to college at the Art Institute in Orange County, graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Game Art & Design- but I don't hold a job in my "dream field" yet. I still have a lot of learning to do. For now, I am working on my portfolio while trying to pay the bills! Life has me tied every now and then and I apologize if I am not updating as much as I should or want to.

Do you remember Michael Hansen or Hanson? He was the Typography teacher and was super loud. It was funny when he came to class all covered in paint from tagging all night long. What a character.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I think I had him for typography too....and I fairly recollect his paint-stained jeans.

There is a guy from Pixar coming to my class tomorrow. He was a former student of my sculpture teacher. He's here on business from San Fran and wanted to stop by and say hi. My teacher wants to me to bring all of my stuff to show him. Looks like Creepy Creature is coming with me

How exciting for you!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heck yeah I'm excited.
He does the sculpts for concept art, that will then get scanned into the computer for cleanup and animation. Pure Awesomeness!!!

Oh my god! You went to the Art Institute in Orange County? I went there 03-04'... but I never finished. It wasn't really for me. That's when I started working and got off track.

Really? What major were you? My first semester there was in Summer '02. Then it was off and on 'til I finished in '07. I wonder if we ever had shared a class now...hrrmm...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was Game Art & Design also.
Hmm... but I think that if I had you in one of my classes, I definitely would have remembered you.
Wow... small world.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I was the only other Game Art chick. The only girls I remembered in the major with me were Jane, Grace and Erin. It was really out of my comfort zone but then I just got used to it as time went by. Definitely a small world- even on DA!!!

None of those names ring a bell. Did you ever have Christian Nacorda as an instructor? He taught Sculpting for Animation and I believe Life Drawing. He was the one that got me hooked on sculpting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I had two instructors: Life Drawing 1 was with Joe and Life Drawing 2 was with....I forgot his name. My sculpting teacher was a lady, I forgot her name too. Man, I'm bad with names!
But- I was originally in Graphic Design the first year. I switched majors, thanks to Bradbury and Claflin. Emrich was probably the best teacher in Game Art. Had TONS of fun in all of his classes! ...Man, I miss that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh Brad Bradbury! Haha!!! He was funny. He said he was baffled at why his parents would name him Brad... considering his last name. :Þ
Yeah Emrich was the best teacher there.
Oh the memories...

I think every student asked him that on the first day of class. Even I remembered the class asking him that, too. It's sad but...I actually enjoyed doing the in-betweens....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I liked the in-betweens too. Not sure why everyone complained about it.
Oh yeah, Congratulations on graduating. Not many people endure the whole program. I remember students dropping like flies. One quarter they are there... and the next gone. I guess I was one of them too. But I did have a personal matter that made it impossible for me to focus on class. Oh well, it was a learning experience.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know! In-betweens were fun! And boy, did I enjoy Storyboarding!!!
And thanks for the congrats! Btw, I was one of the fallen as well. I thought I wasn't going to go back but felt foolish not to, considering I only needed 2 more semesters to graduate(it stretched out to 3). I had tons of personal drama, explaining my absence as well. Sorry to hear of your past troubles, too. Guess that's life though. It likes to throw curve balls.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Curve balls... mine was more like a fast ball straight to the face.
But yeah, that's life. Our pasts makes us the who we are today. So I don't think that would go back and change a thing.
I hope your personal drama has been sorted out and that you do land your dream job soon.

And I hope things go great for you, too! LLLLOOOOVE the Lara Croft sculpture!!!

Thank you thank you
You want one? I can pull some strings... I know the sculptor
Oh, and I will definitely get you a Creepy Creature once its finished.

If I'm going to sculpt, mold, and cast it... its not too much more work to place it in a box and send it your way.

Thanks! I'm hoping things go well. I owe sooooo much in loans...it's frightening!

I owe lots... and didn't even graduate.

Ah don't worry. Everyone needs to vent now and then.
I'm afraid to look at my Sallie Mae statement...

Thanks for the fav. I like your style. What did you use for "Artist Block?"
It doesn't really look like photoshop.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No prob! And actually, I did use Photoshop for that piece. Now that I look back on it, there are so many areas I could have improved on.
