Well sent in the sample for the freelance job, after a series of difficulties (files were too big for email and the file share system I was directed to next wasn't letting me upload them), so will have to wait and see what happens next.
Going to be heading to a renfaire with some friends on Sunday, looks like it ought to be fun. Will try to grab some pictures to share.

Freelance and The Dirty Truth
Well I've got a possibility for freelance illustration work, just need to do a test piece to show what I can do, see if the company wants what I can do and to see if it's really the kind of work that I want to pursue. That's all I'll say for now because the boss of the company knows about this blog and I only want to say nice things about them.
Big thing to do now is networking, both through various communities/forums and (e)mailings. Will have to order up business cards and postcards to start sending out.
Watched the Dirty Jobs:The Dirty Truth (25 years of Discovery episode) and Mike Rowe has a series of "motivational posters" that are variations of standard ones and wisdom culled from over two hundred dirty jobs. A lot of them seem to be very applicable to the modern job market, especially for someone like me (The fact that the people on the show are people who have jobs in this economy is certainly something to take note of).

Last Migration North
Well the trip back to Jersey was interesting.
Wound up with a nasty sunburn on my drawing arm (the car had no AC so we had the windows open) and had a tire blow out while going 75 mph on 95 north in the left lane. Everything turned out fine though. Only seems to be cosmetic damage to the car and the garage that picked us up was 20 miles north and was the only place in a 100 miles that could put a new tire on the wheel.
Been working on unpacking everything and settling back in.
Next step, find a day job and work on new portfolio pieces.

Don't have to go home...
... But ya can't stay here.
Well I finished classes on Thursday, had graduation practice today and the ceremony is tomorrow. Still need to pack and clean.
All in all it's been a crazy four years. Love, loss, inspiration and insomnia.
We'll see what the future holds.
One thing for sure though, it'll certainly be interesting.

Graduation
Holy Crumb Cake! Where did the last four years go?
I'm going to be graduating in a week. I don't think it's really going to hit me until next fall because I won't be coming back down to Savannah.
However I do plan on heading to Atlanta for DragonCon (finally).
Other than that things are going well for finals and I'm already planning how to get my studio set up once I get back home.

Site Progress Deux
The website is almost done, will be done this weekend and up by Monday.
In other news:
I'm sure that most people who have seen the material for Halo: Reach will agree that it looks AMAZING. The concept art looks awesome, the videos are sweet and the music is fantastic. Hopefully the beta will help them iron out all the kinks before final release sometime this fall.
It seems appropriate that the game that I bought an original Xbox to play was Halo: C.E. and that the game that I'm probably going to buy a Xbox360 for is Halo: Reach.
Of course we still have yet to see what happened to the Master Chief, but whatever Bungee delivers down the road, I'm sure Halo 4 will be sweet.
