So, it's been sooooo long since I've done any updates over here in deviantart! Despite the fact I *think* I still pay for premium.... ah well. Hello anyone that's still lurking around!!!
I wanted to just have a bit of an overview of the last few years! It's been a bit of a rollercoaster - moved to Michigan, had a cool job there, broke up with my bf, moved back to AZ, freelanced poorly for awhile, got a job in Denver, loving it! Still managing to pull off this whole "being an animator without being in Hollywood" thing so it is absolutely possible!
I also have started doing twitch streams! It's so fun! I have an animated character who talks w
''To Calarts or To SCAD'' - 5 years later
So, I STILL get comments on a post I made back in 2010 called "To Calarts or to SCAD, that is the question", comments from art school hopefuls looking at schools and finding themselves in the exact same position I was in over 5 years ago. So, I thought I'd write an update sharing my thoughts on my overall experience.
1. Overall, SCAD was awesome

My senior animated film, Patches, is still in production! We have about 80% of the rough animation done (which is about 40% of production), and next quarter is cleanup and color. I'm doing all the backgrounds myself (all cityscapes, FUN TIMES), and I've done a majority of the rough animation as well. Super nervous about next quarter - I am not very good at cleanup and color (it's essentially the lineart and color phase, f
Green Light!
So, my senior film has officially received the green light from my concept development teacher!
This is a big deal. I have had this film in my head since I was in high school (which was awhile ago). My friend Monyee gave me a playlist of music, and there was this song on it, a beautiful little piano song, and I couldn't stop listening to it. I listened to it on loop. For days. And as I listened, this story emerged in my head. It has changed very little since then, and it has lingered, like a little itch in the back of my skull that wouldn't leave me alone. It's that little itch that made me want leave my old school and come to SCAD….
