"TAKE THAT RECESSION!"
They say when you want something so bad in life, you will have to climb over brick walls to get what you want, even though everyone you know around you thinks its pointless.
I "finished" college to pursue my dream. Ever since high school, I always wanted to break into the games industry. On February 3rd, 2010 at 5:16pm PST, the dream I've fought and long sought for has finally become a reality as I received the words "Welcome Aboard" on my email inbox.
It took me close to 5 years after my decision to leave formal education behind, and a lot of trial and error to get where I'm at right now. I've failed multiple times in my life, and the good thing I've learned about failure is that you can always start over things more intelligently.
I'm now a junior artist at Playdom, and I'll be moving down to Cali in the next couple of days. Work starts next week and I can't wait to meet the whole art team. This company is still very young and has a lot of potential for growth. I don't intend to stay in this position for long since I know I can one day lead a team of creatives and make kickass games in the next year or two.

It was inevitable :p
I didn't realize how much power can be contained into one tiny machine.

Anyone here know anything about Ruby language?
Ignoring a friend's advice was a grave mistake! Ruby's taking me back to my old DOS days, I feel like a kid again :D
Now let's see if I can learn enough before the year's end to make a script for SketchUp. |

I forgot to post this. I did some videography work with my best friend a few months ago. He owns his own company filming wedding videos and he gets to travel around the world. Lucky!
We shot this November of last year, I wielded a Canon EOS 5D throughout the whole shoot, which is pretty much the Ultima Weapon of all DSLR cameras.

Thanks Allyn and Roland, I had a blast filming you guys! Thanks Raphael for letting me abuse use your equipment :D
