OK, so it took me a bit, but I made it in here. When I first joined up I had a lot going on and ended up losing the site in my bookmarks and forgetting about it completely. And, so, here I am again, and I figured I'd introduce myself and maybe I wouldn't feel like such a stranger around here anymore.
I'm 22yr old male, living at this very moment in New Orleans, but moving back to Ohio within the next week or two. Going to go back to college for Mechanical Engineering, but have kicked around the idea of a freelance company for in my spare time (full time if it gets to that point) in the future.
I love communities like this because I can use it as a tool to get better, gain information, and be smarter about what I do. And I usually learn that by mistakes and what a better way to mess up than to show it to a group of people with plenty of opinion and knowlege to show you how bad you messed.
I started off doing photo-manipulations and all the photoshop stuff and then started into Illustrator maybe 6months or so ago. Spare time though because work (installing home alarm systems) usually takes up a good portion of the day. That is until now, because I quit to move back to Ohio.
I went to college in 03 to Full Sail in Orlando FL for computer animation with the hopes of getting into the gaming industry...
I guess I'm an artistic Mutt. I also play music, drums, guitar, and bass... and sing but thats not very good haha. I stay busy I guess... but I'm hoping that a site like this can help me focus on getting better with Illustrator mainly. That is what I'm hoping to get out of this.
And since I've completed a novel, I'm going to get going and continue to be lazy tonight.
