I'm BACK!!!!

Well, I'm back from Siggraph 08 in LA and I gotta say it was freakin amazing. There was so much to do, see and absorb that I think my eyes have burned out from seeing all the pretty images. Anyway, it was cool to meet so many people in the industry and to get some insight from major studios like Pixar, Disney, Blue Sky, Sony, etc. The job fair was also a nice treat, especially since that was the main reason I went in the first place. Other than that it was cool to see some of my old friends like Sergey, Saman, and even one of my instructors from school, Vicky. I also met a lot of cool new people and made a ton of new friends. Overall, I'd say the experience was defiantly worth it and I recommend that everyone try to go. I know I'll try to go again next year in New Orleans. Also, I'll post my pics from LA as soon as I can get them developed and scanned(thats right, I used actual film, not digital, shame on me). Well, time for me to get back to work and start animating again. Peace.

Siggraph 08 Here I come

Wow, it's almost time for Siggraph 2008 and I'm so excited that I feel like I'm gonna burst from all the energy inside. I just hope this energy lasts all throughout Siggraph. For those of you who don't know I'm going to Siggraph this year in LA. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and make new posts about the greatness happening in LA. Honestly if I just meet some cool people, have fun, network and if I'm extremely lucky get a job(fingers crossed) then it'll all be worth it, even if I am completely broke and I put off paying certain bills to afford the trip. I know one thing for sure, once I get back from LA I'm gonna start busting my @** on new animations, drawings, and the redesign of my website. Well, my plane leaves in 9 hours so I'll post more when I get to LA. Peace.
