yikes! updaaaate! And watch my two student films. yaay!

DOUBLE POSTS! NYOHMAGAWD!

I'm very aware I didn't hold true to my promise of posting more often now that I got the blogger app. I suppose it doesn't count that I thought about it from time to time? No?
Sigh..
I guess I'm just not the "regular blogger type". I only ever feel like blogging once in a blue moon and then I always have so much stuff to say and blurp about that I could make 5 posts out of all the things I want to discuss. And then I usually choose one. Because, you know, I don't want to annoy anyone, yes? (No. I lie. It just takes me forever to write shit and I get impatient and don't wanna sit there for 10 hours writing and rewriting and reformulating and... you know the drill)
Or I just kinda ramble on... and on... and on...... and oooon...... like now for instance...

Well, let me tell you: LOTS has happened since my last post. I mean the one before the "talent is an overrated word" one.

Here's a short summary (because it's 3:30 am and I should REALLY go to sleep):

Graduated from the 3D animation and Visual Effects program at VFS in November with Honours (With my Honours in classical that's a Double Honours whoop whoop! so happy)

Am struggling with nightmarish paperwork and insanities related to getting a Work Permit in Canada but am still hopeful.

Went to SIGGRAPH and Spark Animation Festival and CTN Animation Expo all of which blew my mind and spurned the fire within me to work even harder and become the most kick-ass animator I could possibly be.

Met shittons of amazing, inspiring, wonderful, brilliant, and supportive people this year and I am so, so, so, so grateful and amazed at my preposterous luck. And I'll stop there or this will turn into a shameless Name dropping session. (Just.. you know..  Andrew Lawson and.. and Lino DiSalvo... and, and Matthew Luhn.. and ... and... GLEN FRICKING KEANE - yes, you heard me folks, I got to shake Glen Keanes hand and, and he said my name *squeal* - And this is it. I will stop right there. Although there's more... <3 )

Basically I had a fantasmagorically amazeballs year and learned so much and I still can't believe my life. Work permit procuration horrors and all.

Back in Vienna right at this moment, enjoying the Freedom, the Fam, the Friends and the Lazyness. Yes, with a capital L.

Aaaaand here is my 3D student film, enjoy ;) (I hope)
