February.
I've been keeping at least monthly updates for awhile, so here's February. And it was full of plenty of great things.
Describing New Zealand, the words "paradise on earth" are how people commonly describe it and... well, the country is quite incredible. Being in summer weather didn't hurt, either. Beautiful, calming, and far from rat race, there is possibility for work that may move me there. George Nelson: life with the kiwis.
Shortly after returning back to California, I packed back up and head to Philly and New York. And suddenly it's winter. I took the opportunity to make this trip for my friends. Amy is Philly has been doing great things in the art world, including The Artist Rubuttal. Justin drove all the way up from NC, his first trip back up to New York since battling lymthoma. Brennan, also from NC lent us his presence; Charla seems so established living in NY and housing me for a few nights. We spent an awesome evening in Brooklyn with Kymia, checking out her winning exhibit from Work of Art. Checking out the beautiful work, and seeing her after almost 10 years since art school made me really happy!
Now back in socal, I've left FedEx Office and am working on my own on design work. It's nice. Maybe a little stressful. But definitely days deconstructed from routine, and I suppose that suits me. That's been my February. March, I've got no idea what's in store.

Beginning of 2012
My 2011 wrapped up with an excellent holidays. Christmas was full of family, and I enjoyed all the gifts I recieved, with perhaps a sleeping mask being my favorite. New Year's was a quiet one spent with mom, and a busy, loud 2012 is on the horizon for me.
Straight from winter to summer, I write this update from Auckland, New Zealand. This is my first overseas visit! The country has been incredible so far, and work may be here. Definitely a new chapter in my life, and study abroad could be a part of it.
Setting up a visit to University of Auckland next week. Bring a little American art to the kiwis!

Socal Regionals Bound!
Tournament season is always an invigorating time for folks in the Fighting Game Community. Folks are polishing their skills, there's a collective hype for new technology and high level play that'll be unleashed, and rivalry along with camaraderie is at it highest.
Competitive fighting games may have a fairly niche interest, but it's hard to deny the energy and intensity that builds over the course of a major tournament, that then explodes at the peak of grand finals.
Socal Regionals is one of the majors that take place here in California and is set to take place this month. With many of my peers completing and the venue being UCI, I'm wondering if I'm more excited about this than Christmas. I won't be completing this year, but will be assisting with J&J Mods table, where there'll be custom art and commissions available! Drop by and give me your favorite character that you want to see rendered by me!

November thoughts. In freestyle.
Keep makin' that money. Live the American Dream
I make steady flow and get overdrafts every week
It's like playing hide and seek
Was just bout to leave then I got the raise
Now I'm gotta stay through the holidays

Glory
I had the incredible experience of seeing Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp live at the Cerritos Preforming Arts Center. These two original cast members from one of my favorite shows, Rent
were one of the primary things that pulled me into the musical theatre world, so it was definitely an awesome opportunity to see them. It was years ago that I used to listen to Adam's music; raw, distinctive and versatile, so witnessing his performance and meeting him was more of a 'proud moment for an old friend' than a star-struck experience. A humble guy.
