Hello to the few of you who still watch this page! I realized I haven't been on here too much lately other than to fulfill my club duties. Heck, my journal hasn't been updated in nearly two years. In the two years I've written that journal I got hired at a job in Maryland, got laid off in April of last year, spent a year in unemployment purgatory, and got hired at a new job in Virginia. In those two years I put doing art off to the wayside due to a combination of self doubt, depression, and stress from either working at a job or trying to search for jobs. After attending comic conventions with my friends, meeting cartoonists and reading lots of independent comics, I finally feel inspiration to start doing my own work again. Hopefully within the next couple weeks I'll have new work up on my page on a regular basis. Also, I'm revamping my page to show a new beginning as an artist. I've tossed most of my gallery into an "old works" folder to separate my old stuff from the new. Some of my old stuff I'm still proud of, while others not so much but I'll leave them up here to show my progress as a cartoonist.Thanks everyone and hopefully stay tuned!
I Got A Job!
10/10/10
Look at the date, straight tens! In other news, I just got a job! I got hired as an entry-level geospatial analyst at a firm in Rockville, Maryland that does a lot of government contracting work. I'll be working with them on a worldwide mapping project using LANDSAT data, which could be for the government or firms like Google and Microsoft. The pay's pretty decent for an entry-level job ($19.50 an hour), plus I'm getting paid more to work evening shift but that means I'll no longer have my weekday evenings free. Everyone there seems really nice. It kind of has the same collegiate atmosphere as my geography classes back at GMU where
My Small Press Expo 2010 Experience
Sorry it's been awhile since I've posted anything on here. I went over to the Small Press Expo, an independent and underground comics convention in Bethesda, Maryland with a couple of friends yesterday. I had a good time, throughout parts of it I had to struggle with my shyness/anxiety disorder to talk to some of the artists since this was the first convention of any kind I've gone to. My friend Dustin was happy because he got to meet Jeph Jacques, creator of the webcomic series "Questionable Content". Here were some of the highlights from the convention:
* I got to meet Danielle Corsetto, creator of the webcomic series "Girls With Slingshot
New Music Blog Idea
3/9/10
Because that's what the internet needs, another blog! But seriously, the idea I have in mind is one that hasn't really been done before. I want to do a blog analyzing the worst albums by highly regarded bands of the past. I felt that mocking albums by bad artists was too easy and that a bad album by a good artists is something even worse and more special. It won't be albums *I* personally think is bad, but rather what the general consensus thinks is a bad album by a good artist as sourced from online polls and lists from blogs and magazines. The disappointment the loyal listener in those pre-internet days must have felt dropping the n
Decade In Review: 2000-2009
12/31/09
Well, here it comes, the end of the very first decade of the 21st century. I can say for sure this has been quite a roller coaster of a decade with some ups and lots of downs. I began this decade as a frustrated and naive middle school student and came out of it as a frustrated but wiser adult. I can say for sure spending my formative years living in the shadow of Washington DC under the Bush years has had quite an influence on the way I am. I learned to be wary of nationalism when it gets out of hand and becomes blind and jingoistic. I learned that living in the United States does not shield you from the aggression of foreign terro
