Graduation Has Come at Last


I have recently graduated with honors--Cum Laude--with my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in 3D Animation from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Denver, Colorado. Although I graduated with a degree in 3D animation, I have learned much more than just my major. I can produce and direct films, animate in both 2D and 3D, write stories and great papers, do graphic design, illustrate, paint, draw, and sculpt. However, most importantly, I have learned how to learn. Now I need a real job.


Since the time I graduated, I have noticed how disciplined and regimented I have become, but I have also noticed that I need to be less restrained in my art. I went to school to learn technical skills, but now it's time to play. The images in my head can finally become reality. The illustration below is from a story I'm in the process of writing, currently titled Canopy. The Canopy universe has been under development in my head for the past 7 or 8 years, and now I finally have the skills and understanding to bring the story to life. Well, at least I'm getting back to the whole sketch blog thing.
