Growing up I used to see this art that struck a cord in me and could stop me dead in my tracks. Years later I discovered it was done Frank Frazetta. The more I learned about him the more I gained the courage to take a chance on this dream we call art. Not only did he have an imagination that could change the world, he had a unique amount of control to harness it. "If only I could be more like him" runs through my mind from time to time.

I will always be learning from and honoring what your work has done for so many.

unemployed

2 min read
As of today, I'm unemployed. Something I've fantasized about for 12 years. I haven't been unemployed since I graduated high school, which is over half a lifetime ago. The amount of freedom I feel is intoxicating, but my bills and bank account keep sobering me up.

I don't want to get into the specifics but I was laid of with about 200 other co-workers. I could have applied for a transfer or moved back to NY... but this felt right. To start over and reinvent myself as a professional artist. Most people look at me as if I might be making a mistake. But I need this. I can choose my own direction without the excuses and hesitation.
I've been writing code (AS3) non-stop for 2 weeks, trying to finish my portfolio website that I started about 2 years ago. I should been up and running this next week for me to start applying for jobs.

The job competition out here in L.A is a lot more talented then what I was used to in N.Y. but I spent the last couple of years preparing for this. Might as well see if I have what it takes to start for zero in the entertainment capital of the U.S.
