ValliantCreations

If I didn't get sick on Thursday and stay out Friday.

The job itself, though, promises to be totally awesome.  I've loved everyone I've met so far, the food is good, and I get a healthy commute in the bargain (2 miles of biking + 4 miles of walking... or 6 miles of biking, if I feel like bringing my bike on the train).  

Looking forward to starting a new week, though. ;D

I'll be a UI Artist full time in Redwood Shores, CA.     And I <3 the company (Storm8) - totally fun work environment with a startup attitude.  Huzzah!  It'll be nice to have health insurance again.  

Currently freelancing for a company down in L.A. (still living in Santa Clara - it's an online thing) - and it's an awesome job, coming up with monster designs for the company Tiny Tim Games' fantasy game (not yet released).  They basically said 'draw us cool things vaguely like these (insert references), but in the style of the Hawse design you did'.  And I was like, 'CAN DO.'

I've been adding a lot of 2D and UI to my gallery - this is for the purposes of job-hunting.  I had a ton of fun revamping my resume, and now that that's done I'm going to be working on my Flash skills, as they're a smidge rusty (and I learned on Flash when it was still Macromedia.  I've got a bit of catching up to do...).  

Though my internship I found that I really enjoy doing 2D and UI, so  I'm beefing up my portfolio so that I can land a job doing it.  

I recently participated in the Global Game Jam.  I'm soooo doing it next year.  It was extremely fun and pretty stressful, all in one go.    Sadly, the game my team made hasn't bee uploaded anywhere (I don't even have a playable version), so I can't link it.


Still in California, still having a blast.
