Alrighty, my friends. Because I plan on using DeviantArt to show potential employers my work, I'm going to be cleaning out some of my artwork, namely all but the best of my fan-art, most of my sketchwork, and anything else I feel isn't the best of what I've got. I'm going to be trying to set up a more acceptable looking homepage for my both my artwork and my graphicworks.

Anyway, to explain my absence from DeviantArt, I've just been absolutely swamped with important work. The biggest news is that I have an interview coming up with a local print production shop that creates graphics for T-Shirts, not for an internship, but for a full-time position. Meaning that if I get this job, not only do I get to quit working at CrapDonald's, but I'll be one step ahead of most of my classmates, leaving with a full job before the end of school! The man who runs the shop already loves my work after coming to my class weeks ago to watch a presentation of some of our T-Shirt graphics for a video game (mine was TF2; I'll upload some of the designs later in the week if I can).

I've also recently been hired twice by two separate entities to work as a caricature artist for two events. The first, being a volunteer job, being one of two caricature artists at the "A Prom to Remember" in Cleveland. The second, a paid job from one of the prop companies that worked at A Prom to Remember, was to work with the same caricature artist from before (a fellow student at school) at the after-prom of a local high school. Both were exhausting, but they were very fun to do, and I now have a good amount of connections thanks to all these opportunities!

Aside from all these official opportunities, I've had even more side jobs as well, mostly commission work from friends and co-workers. Like for example, a friend wants me to create a Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess themed print for him to give to his girlfriend for graduation, and another friend wants me to reform a sketch of Natsu Dragneel (from the popular anime, "Fairy Tail") I made into a full digital print.

So that explains why my DeviantArt's been collecting dust these last few weeks. I'll try my best to keep this page active for now, because I don't wanna be leaving all the artwork I'm creating in the dark for too long.
