It’s been a couple weeks since Dries and I first clunked across the California border, and I’m finally starting to feel at home. The last my stuff is unpacked, if not quite put away, there are posters on the wall, and my locally-based (finally!) job search is in full swing. I’ve also found a bit of time to create some more drawings and develop a flat portfolio for applying to concept/story art positions.

Two days before I left Austin I also picked up some VERY last minute scenic paint work in the form of a prop for my hair dresser, April Skinner, who is also an up-and-coming photographer in the area with her company, Almost Impatient Productions. When I first saw the crescent moon, it was a tacky, disheveled, bright, glossy yellow, with water damage, paint peeling around the edges, etc. April asked for a copper patina kind of look, and, though it was my first try at that particular effect, I think it turned out pretty well. See for yourself in the Scenic Art/Design page, and while you’re at it, check out the design gallery for photos of the scale model of Iden B. Payne Theatre featuring a set of my own design, created for my Design for Performance final project back in May.

Well, my resume is shaping up my online and flat portfolios are shaping up, now to put it all to good use.
