Drawing. I have so much to learn and kind of no idea where to really start. I'm scattered between Loomis books and watching Proko videos on youtube. If anyone has any good books, videos, sources or tips that would be awesome.
Went to the local book store looking for [ame="http://www.amazon.com/S-J-Abrams/dp/0316201642/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1387485428&sr=1-1&keywords=S"]"S"[/ame] because Amazon was out of it. Struck up a conversation with the owner at the door, who was taking a smoke break. Turns out she had two copies left, which she had hidden behind the counter to be sold specifically for people asking for it. I bought one and the woman behind me, who overheard us talking, bought the last copy.
That I realized I have been in the games industry for 4 years now with Halo Reach, Uncharted 3 and The Last of Us as the games I have created art for. Not too shabs
Dammit Autocon! How is somebody supposed to come in here and post something shiny after you say something like that xD
Anyway my feel good news is that after starting in this industry 5.5 years ago playing contract tag I'm finally a fulltime environment artist! I imagined it being a bunch of beer and cheers and burgers but really it's a pile of boring paperwork.
Well I got my grade back for my math final that I thought I was going to fail. As expected, I completely bombed it. But I have come to the realization that it isn't the end of the world!
Non-Newtonian fluids are seriously strange a mixture that takes on properties of both a fluid and a solid. Watch as people perform a number of physics-defying tricks on a 2,100 galloon pool of "oobleck."
Made people laugh by showing them the letter I wrote to the tax man (HMRC).
Heres an excerpt from the general complaint of service letter with a suggestion of improvements.
Payment systems consistent with the Era we are living in: You expect a cheque, Bankers draft or postal order. I don't have a cheque book, most people don't use or have cheques and haven't for nearly 15 years. I have never once in my life used a cheque and was only issued with a cheque book once, around 10 years ago. I tried using Google to gather info on what the hell a bankers draft is which seems like even more complicated nonsense and hassle.
In an age where EBay will be adopting the cryptocurrency bitcoin next month and it is possible to order Chinese food through PayPal, why can I not pay my taxes via a bank transfer, PayPal, direct debit etc.? You may as well be asking me for a sack of gold via carrier pigeon.
Owner and master-at-arms Paul Macdonald, 41, needs someone to take on a chance to gain experience in one of Scotlands rarest heritage crafts today. Applicants do not need any previous experience but they must be confident in their abilities to learn quickly and create with various power and hand tools.
Paul, who described the job as demanding but rewarding, said: A passion for history has to be there because we research and study original pieces its an essential part of the job.
And a design and craft background is helpful too."
Just thought I would share this cool job, chance to live in God's own country too
Finally got my offer to study Industrial Design this year. Was a bit of a battle to get it sorted. The next few years are going to be interesting but not terribly lucrative.
Now everyone give me lots of freelance work so I can pay for it.

Actually had a productive day today!
Just completed a freelance gig with another unrelated project in progress.
January was a bust so I'm hoping February would be the start of a booking momentum.
