Hello, so 2nd semester started up and my schedule got very busy all at once. I recently got an internship at Augenblick Studios which has been awesomely awesome but adds 16 hours of unpaid work into my weekly schedule. But to in-between for the creators of Super Jail is well worth it. Oh and there's a bar in the studio! !!!

I also discovered that my children's lit teacher's husband teaches 16 classes at SVA, I had to take him once I discovered this and was not dissapointed. He is a extreme leftist angry atheist not afraid to show the darkest and most enlightening films he can find. So glad I'm taking his class.

We are animating in Maya! Excellent!

I'm also trying to get a headstart on my thesis and took on my Maya teacher as my Advisor, one of the best decisions I have ever made. He really cares about the students and sounds like Jack Nicholson on Crack.

I have a second internship at Black20 coming up in February, these are the guys behind the 300 Trailer PG version and the Journey At The Center of The Earth trailer

Ok thats all,

My third year at SVA has begun, feels like it's going too fast without a doubt. Classes are great this year as expected , i got my hands a little wet with maya and what a complex program it is and I am incredibly excited to learn it! Haven't had sound design yet but i've heard good things from everyone who has. Children's Literature for Illustrator's is awesome, the teacher is very insightful and friendly. AND I get to read the "Stinky Cheese man!" Have not read that one in a long time. Animation class is so-so, I knew it would be quite a feat to topple Bullwinkel's amazing class last year so I expected this. Drawing class is excellent, the teacher is very friendly and much more helpful than last year's anatomy class. He actually comes over to you and helps you multiple times in a single class! Also his style of figure drawing is unlike anything i've done before, its similar in style to a book i was recently reading through "Force" and well I am also very excited to learn this new style.

So I am excited/pumped about this year for sure.

Oh and my dorm is ever so slightly nicer

My junior year at SVA starts soon, just less than two weeks really. Seems too soon, I miss SVA but at the same time I miss home. I'm always torn between the two, well either way i'm uber pumped for my classes and to see my SVA buds again!

I'll be selling my artwork at Sussex County Community College
This Saturday! (that's July 30th), Should start at 5:00. My friend's band "William Wilson" will be performing as well so please come . I'll also have DVDs of "A Flight Into Imagination", 2 short comics, and hopefully my first album!

Hope to see you there
