Update on Life

Looking back at my first entry I think I've accomplished a lot from that list; among some other things. Mostly though its growing up too fast that scares me, since accomplishing these tasks has become more of a reality than a future plan.

Let's see, I've gotten an internship (lucky!) I worked for Yinzcam, an interface application for interactive phones for the Penguins. That was very interesting, since I felt I contributed to an actual company. A reality check for me seeing my work on the big screen, seeing it being used with my designs and then having it all ripped apart....apparently we were only the "pilot" for yinzcam, and after we did all the prototypes, they removed most of our original designs. However, my application designs are still there!! on the phones! mostly the website is gone, which is my largest disappointment.

I've made a website! Its
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~angelaw/
Most of the images are pretty old though, so hopefully, I'll be able to post more updates to improve it...Possibly find a job? I realize a website is essential for an artist in my category. Yes, category. I think I best term myself a commercial artist. I would like to work for companies and studios, but I prefer to create my own work based on fantasy and creativity. Not to criticize, but I found working for others a bit boring, limited and straining on time. However, one must sacrifice for stability right? My goals for my website will be adding more categories and more work. I need my work to reflect technique, commercial range, style, creativity and above all passion. Keeping these in mind, I think my summer will be quite busy.

I still worry about school tuition and finances, especially since I got a new house and am charge of all bills and rent. Yes, me, who would have thought. I brought it on an impulse, so happy with my decision! It was a lot more work than I would have ever imagined. I wont' bore you with the details but lets just say it involved painting, hammering and plaster, nails windex, soap and much more. The worst part was finding housemates...after several bad decisions and terrible disasters I've finally settled for some cool people. Honestly, I think I must have a guardian angel out there, I've been so lucky. Or maybe I've just gained experience....

All part of growing up

Anyway, I realize this is getting pretty long so I'll just list my goals.

-Fix up website, make awesome
-Continue posting on my sketch blog
-Get an art related job and make $$
-Get the house in order!!
-Make money
-Save money
-Graduate on time
-Wean myself off meat and dairy products and become a vegan. Yes, vegan, not vegetarian I'm going hardcore (Completely health based)

That's about it for now. Hopefully I don't get lazy and stop posting after a week.
