Time to bust ass on a new portfolio. Probably start on Monday. Until then, I'll be hanging with my good friend Captain Mo and his pal Dr. Pepsi, medicine woman.

Thanks for the kind words, Ben. It does have it's ups and downs. I just hoped they'd have been spaced a little bit better

Know how it feels mate, Was let go a few weeks ago but I can tell you this. It´s pretty nice after the initial shock. Working on your own shit for once full time is really nice.

Take it as an opportunity to grow as an artist.

I guess John Romero DID make you his bitch

(though, technically, I doubt it was 'him'...but it seemed funny at the time)

Hope you land on your feet man, it always sucks to hear of a fellow PC'er getting hit.
