S.E.P.T.E.M.B.E.R.....2008

09082008 - it's been awhile, but not really~ I actually updated my resume but didn't announce an update~ The artbook collaboration i helped out on (le Grand Grimoire Visuel - an artbook anthology) did very well and was sold out VERY quickly with a lot of great feedback from fans~ Hard work paying off is always wonderful~~

Things have been a little difficult with gas prices basiclly nearly doubling and the general bay area lifestyle being as expensive as it is (median house price $700k what??) so priorities have been changing and such~ i hopethings will shape up soon~

this winter I'm planning a website redesign...this site is more than a few years old and needs a facelift~~

J.A.N.U.A.R.Y.....2008

01262008 - eeps, it's been almost a whole year since my last update and actually a lot of LIFE has been lived, but basically I got a job in SF in april 07, so i left LA and moved back up in may 07...the whole thing was all for the better! I think the only reason i updated it january last year was because i was expecting to leave that year, but i had to great fortune of being hired at a company I admired AND it was located in the city i was aiming to move back to.

Also, i mostly only update my portfolio when i'm looking for a job, so the lack of updates always means i'm happy where I am hahaha. I'm just making this update to the site to redirect it to this live page because previously it was a split page where it would let you choose to go here or a personal site (that was never made). The domain was originally meant to house 2 purposes, but now I decided the personal site was no longer necessary as i have no time for personal things due to the almighty career haha.

so yes! nothing new today and hopefully for awhile~ I've been working on a lot of great projects and am doing new things, so maybe one day i'll have the energy to post some new things~

in the mean time, I've been working on a collaboration project with several other artists. I handled the design/layout and any kind of promo materials or other creative services they needed aside from the actual ART it features, so check it out~

J.A.N.U.A.R.Y.....2007

01292007 - BOY HOWDY! It's been over a year since my last update and well, there was a lot to update~
well, actually, i didn't have time to upload EVERYthing i wanted, but here's the quick and dirty, because I really did just slap some of the latest stuff in there.

The Portfolio section most notably, has been split and organized by company. Actually, just between 2 major employers (Broccoli and TokyoPop) and then the rest grouped into one. I intend to separate all of them later on down the road.
And yes, my resume was ever so slightly updated...now with the title "Graphic Designer."

Again, let me know if you come across any broken links~

N.O.V.E.M.B.E.R.....2005

11062005 - has it been long enough? Well, since my last update, i've been horrifically busy...MOVING TO LA.

i DID obtain a job, but it's only a 6months contract with a company i've freelanced with before, TokyoPop. However, to say it nicely, the financial compensation is not equal to the amount of work needed to be done. Basically, I feel my experience of 4 years doing this work is not being appreciated as I am currently making the same amount as those who have just started learning how to do it. So, needless to say, I am on an ongoing job hunt still! I am also currently freelancing despite my full time contract position, as I have university loans and now LA living expenses to keep up with, so I'm open to any freelance projects you may have~

As you can tell, the layout has LENGTHENED...and i have updated my work samples section with new downloads! My contact information as well has been updated with a new address!

As usual, let me know of any broken links and thanks for looking!

J.U.L.Y.....2005

06272005 - Well, i found my school animation project and decided to post it...BUT! i didn't leave a space for animations! so temporarily i will have it available to download on my updates page, with a permanent home TBA =)

Cupid and Psyche - Done at UCLA's Film 181A animation class.
first clip is the animatic followed by the final product. The animation was limited to 15seconds.

as always, let me know if you find any dead links!

06142005 - back from vacation, only semi busy with freelance, SO! Print Design section updated! I hope I'm impressive enough to get at least an interview or two *hopes* As for the website section, it still links to the old portfolio site because every idea i have to present it, seems too cheezy when i sleep on it.
as always, let me know if you find any dead links!

A.P.R.I.L.....2005

04192005 - ME and CALL sections are all done...the me page is just me being silly talking about work ethic and making stupid jokes *group groan*...the call page is just all my contact info cuz...well, i want people with jobbies to call me right? =) lookit me! a whole site almost done in 3 days!

04182005 - RESUMÈ is up now! also, coded more of artwork's slideshow so if you click on the image, it pops into a new window...still tweaking its look though...a little..blandish i think? i dunno.

04182005 - why am i still up?? see this is why i shouldn't design a website unless i'm not doing anything...i end up thinking about it too much and keep wanting to code it till the wee hours of the morn!
ANYWAY point being: artwork section has been semi-coded...will finish later after some repose =)

04172005 - NEW LAYOUT! just getting started, so a little messy and wonky. coding with DHTML so i hope it shows up fine on NEARLY every browser =p

also! if you ever want to get back to this main page, just punch i mean click on my face (lower right)... it blushes a wittle~

my old site is still live if you have the old links or if you want to go through HERE wooOOSH!

THANKS for visiting!
