[+] I OBLITERATED the GTI clutch forks doing something stupid, I mean, they are unrecognizable now. tranny is still fine, thank goodness.

Game projects for haze studios are going along well. It does take time away from drawing from me/you/the world, but its for the best. On the same note, I'm done doing anime-cons for a while. Making prints for profit is nothing short of whoring. I'll only go for the right reasons. So basicly its 95% artwork for work/projects that will be going somewhere. selling out.

gotz a new internship position at web studio @ skytemple: skytemple.com/blog/?cat=1, awesome folks, cant wait to break some newground there.

Some good news!

I got a new gig with a game developer, making concept art and mock-ups for Nintendo DS titles.  I got one project down, a strategy game with an arcade like twist. there are many more to go as I am eager. Its like dream come true for a character designer! It DOES take alot of time to get it done, actually it takes up all my free time.

I bought an early xmas gift for me:
A new car! the Audi S4, its very sleek.

Some sad news!
