This is it! The big finale. I have five weeks left until I graduate from University of the Arts at Philadelphia. A lot of stuff has happened over the past few months, not to mention over the past four years. I had no idea that time would move so quickly in such a long period of time. I believe I might have gotten better in my artwork. I also believe that I have learned to figure out how to see things in a different perspective in art and animation. Ideas swirl within my mentality all the time like a tsunami of inspiration. There's never a day where I think and feel and become inspired. Then again, I apologize to sound pretentious it's just this high of euphoria from art just feels so good.
I have joined an animation society called ASIFA-East. Students and independent animators come together seeing various lectures and festivals. A lot of them take place in New York. The first lecture and meeting was sometime in February where it was an FAQ with the creators of Super Jail. Oddly, a lot of people remembered me from my trip to Ottawa about several months ago.
The next ASIFA meeting was the ASIFA-East judging at New York for Student animated works. I had three pieces, the first two people hated but it seems people had gotten a laugh out of Conflict of the Mind. Thank heavens, I just hope it gets picked. If not, it was worth the shot! I have to keep trying. I was amazed people remembered who I was when I came to the screening. Not to mention Sean McBride and Aaron Augenblick remembered my name. It was an awesome feeling. I was astounded that meeting people will help me seek the entry level in my field as an animator. I'm horrified yet I love the challenge before me: the economy is low, jobs are scarce and there's no one to wipe my ass; gotta handle things on my own. Websites, animation finals, sending stuff to festivals, drawing everyday. I wanna get better. I fucking suck at my work my art is like anuses on fire but I need to get better. I cannot fail.
I'll talk to you all soon. I love you all.
