Well ain't this a....
16 years ago
Welp, I've been on a art production bendge as of late. Finally, I can sit back and do work I wanna do. For nearly 5 years I've been following the criteria of the college. Now after some relaxation and downtime, I've kicked into high gear drawing, painting, and even 3D Modeling on a daily basis. The commission I still owe from previous cons will be getting worked on very soon, as now I can provide the quality of work I can be pleased with for people I respect and have befriended.
But, what about my Portfolio? I'm making it, but as I do, the potential places where I can actually submit a resume has steadily vanishing. As my college said, this is a bad time to Graduate.. That is true, and I won't argue that point. But I really don't want to be stuck in Tennessee. I really want to uproot myself and get the hell outta dodge. But is it really the right time? Should I cool my jets and bide my time, settling myself with sending my resumes to friends in the business and just waiting for an opening?
Perhap that may be the best action at this moment. So far likely places of occupation are Capcom USA and Stardock, but both aren't hiring but do want my stuff nonetheless. In the meantime I'm trying to mellow myself out by expressing visions and fantasies on paper. It's nice, but I certainly can't do it forever. The clock is ticking, and the period of my life where I spend 100% of my time locked in a room infront of a computer working on art is going to be a limited one.
God, I wish the current US Administration would bring back the old post-war ideals of Government Funded Arts and Artists. I'd die from the bliss of being paid for the purpose to explore my own artistic potential. Hmm.. Maybe I should submit an essay to my district's rep.

OP
Oh and they are nice places. I wouldn't mind at all if I got a call in the coming months from either one. Not the ideal moving spots though, but I won't complain as long as I'm sticking with the Gaming Industry.
