I'm back in Baton Rouge, and I figured I'd give a li'l update on what's going on right now. I am moving to Buenos Aires, Argentina in February, which means I will be spending my last days in Brooklyn in January! I don't particularly want to move OUT of Brooklyn, but I really do want to move IN to Buenos Aires, so, Brooklyn, I'll be back... someday. I've got a free ticket & rent, with space for a studio, so I'm gonna work on my portfolio for grad school (California?) and refocus, take a breather. Figure out exactly what I want to do, and where. I love NY, but you're breaking my back and the timing's not right. As in, I don't have the money or the job to deal with you. And I can certainly deal with 5 dollar steak and wine meals. So, please! Visit me! Yes, the ticket might be expensive, but I'll have a nice setup for at least til the end of the summer of 07. After that-- maybe one of the two grad schools I'm applying to right now will smile and favor me, but I'm not expecting much.

Also-- the animation project is almost done! Yes, done!! Almost!! I'd still like to give it to Spencer or a professional sound designer, but it's got a pretty amazing temp track to it right now, and Nate and I have (well, really Nate) tweaked, re-edited, and polished the compositing so it looks pretty slick now. I will youtube it when I get the chance, unleash it to the public... FINALLY.

Anyways, these images are prints from Bill Cass' Intaglio class. I'm feeling particularly nostalgic for Denmark and certain people from that time, and the sad man above is my farewell to Brooklyn, ha. Oh, and I'll post some more youtube animation goodness soon, happy holidays people.

Miguelito!!!!
Argentina?!?!?!
You're doing what Sarahmaria did: move to NYC, feel the pain, move south of the equator where it's cheap and warm and sunny and you can do art and stuff.
You know what the next step is Miguel? Grad school in California! Zach's gonna do it (let's keep our fingers crossed) and you should too!
