The 12 year-old version of myself set up a business plan: When I get older, make cartoons, draw everyday, make video games.
Oddly, I haven't strayed far from having those goals, in fact these past three months I've been focusing
on them more than ever.
I've been wrapping up my freelance projects and selling my stuff (which is mostly classic video games).
I'm job hunting and getting ready to move to anywhere in the world.
Being 12 was awesome. I was playing the heck out of Final Fantasy VII, hanging in arcades playing KOF '97 and Samurai Shodown 4, watching
endless VHS tapes of anime with friends, alas, it's no wonder I was so hungry to be this sorta renaissance artist, creating things in every form of media.
Give me a bit more time Lil' Kid-Me, I'm gonna make it happen.

That's how many dA-messages I have left to go through.
I've been feeling pretty bummed lately. Life here is mundane, spinning my wheels
and not going anywhere.
Maybe I'll leave this city in a few months.
On the positive side, I watched the Legend of Korra yesterday, and it is simply amazing,
well worth the wait.
Downfall of the Hobbyist
Yo folks! I'm still in LA.
Life here is pretty dull.
I haven't really tried to get any animation gigs while I've been down here. I spend most my days
working at a Hawaiian-themed restaurant spouting "alohas" in tropical shirts.
When I get home, I draw.
I haven't posted anything lately because I've been bored with my art.
My cute, anime style has it's appeal but it's really just a crutch for not
knowing anatomy and composition well. It lacks sophistication.
This year, I want to take my art seriously, to gain confidence and finally act like a professional.
I miss Vancouver.
My only regret is that I didn't nurture the relationships I
Devious Journal Entry
Been in Los Angeles a little over a month now and cabin fever has sunk in.
I've been practicing and building my portfolio up for school/job so that's why there's such a drought of new updates.
I started a blog-ish sorta thing over on tumblr.
It gots some sketches and gifs and whatever else is on tumblr these days.
Gah, I guess I'm just super lonely here, maybe I'll post some new art tomorrow.
Laters.
No, I'm not dead
:nuu:Every time I'm active on dA, I end up disappearing for three months.
My excuse this time is because I moved.....all the way to sunny Cali.
I'm down in LA so if you wanna holla at me just whistle, you do know how to whistle dont'cha?
It's pretty strange to be back here after 8 years.
Old friends moved on and things look different. It's like back in elementary, when I would go to school and my
mom would clean my room while I was away. It's the same room but the neatness makes a kid lose their bearings completely.
I'm drawing more than ever now. I may post some stuff eventually ( ˘ ³˘) one day, maybe not.
I miss Vancou
