Nobody Can Hear You Apply In Space

Yep, it's update time. I'm in SoCal and loving it - except for the one, tricky little part of not having a job. Not loving that. Do have an internship I enjoy a lot; I'm responsible, dependable, and feel I have a pretty good standing there! Sadly, all good things come to an end, and this was always a short experience gig that was meant, and still scheduled to end, come August.

Money is sort of, kind of, maybe a big deal to living, but especially for California.

So! I'm on the hunt for drawing jobs - illustration, storyboarding, children's books, concepts, character design, even animation! I've dabbled in all of it, and am confident in my abilities, but especially sure of my ability to grow. The big thing is finding the right match: I want to devote myself to a project of passion, but with also room to grow, opportunity to branch out, and room for a little fun.

I'm ready to work hard, I just have to find my niche. Any ideas, while I look?
