Realm of Quickpaw - Latest News Latest News <![CDATA[RoQ 3.0! Watch my dust...]]>
There are a lot of new flashy features up and running, so feel free to explore and discover! Now, I still have some final bugs to flush out before this site is 100%, but rest assured, I'm on the job!

Besides the new coat of paint, I am using a bunch of neat jQuery UIs. This should make browsing my art galleries a bit more fun. I personally like it because it cuts down on my development time for me...especially when I add new artwork to the site.

Time to clean things up around here. Laterz!

  • I quit CompUSA in November and got a awesome job doing website/flash design work at a company called SGW - Integrated Marketing Communications (yay Craigslist.com!). Everyone there is really nice, and I've been learning a lot. Heck, I've learned how to use Visual Studio 2005, CSS, some .Net, and I've been pumping out some really cool Flash animations for them. I couldn't ask for a better job right now ^_^!
  • I got a new apartment with my new step-bro, Ian (who has been a life-long friend too...yeah..it's weird, I know) and our dog Aiden. He's a Shiba Inu, which kinda looks like a fox, actually, come to think of it, he does sorta look like my avatar...freaky!
  • I've been trying to live life to it's fullest lately. Going hiking, building snow forts, nice long walks, drives along country highways, the works. I've just been trying to take in the world and all that it has to offer. I can't wait for some more warm spring days! I sooooooo wanna go to the beach, or go to the plunge pool for some cliff diving and swimming ^_^!
So, that's the rundown of how I've been spending most of my time. Now comes the fun stuff....ACTUAL CONTENT!:
  • I'm adding a link to my MySpace account. Yes, I know, I fell into the "you gotta get MySpace!" trap. (at least I'm not addicted to WoW...now THAT'll kill ya!)
  • I have about 4 or 5 Flash animations that I'm going to post today in my Animations section. Most of which I did during college. The one I'm really proud of is my Birthday Card animation ^_^! It's just too adorable. And yes, that's my voice.
  • Ok, here's the low-down on Cookie Run! I put it on hold because I felt like the animation wasn't up to the standard I wanna set for myself. When I began it, it was for my senior year final, and I wanted it to be my first 5-6 min Flash cartoon. Well, this was when I just began animating characters, and my drawing skills really weren't up to snuff yet. Not only that, but I primarily use the line tool to do most of the outlines, so it takes FOREVER to get just one cell done (I don't own a decent Wacom tablet...but at least this way, the lines are smooth and consistant). But, as you can see from my Birthday Card cartoon, I have been getting better, so I hope to pick up this project again!
Don't ya just LOVE getting to know the artist behind the madness? Well, I guess in this case...cute madness. Anywho, I hope you enjoy my little update. The next thing on my list of life achievingness, is to find a sweet, wonderful gal to call my own! Wish me luck ^_^!

P.S. My B-day was on Wednesday! I'm 25 baby! Hmm...I wonder if I can collect social security yet...]]> Sat, 07 Apr 2007 00:00:00 GMT <![CDATA[Even more cons!...]]> Anthrocon was great this year! Not only did I buy a bunch of cool stuff, not only did I find out I actually have fans, but I met J. Axer too. He's a awesome guy, and it's even better when him and Matt Burt are in the same room together...it's too funny.

Anywho, now I have Otakon to go to now ^_^;. I'm heading down Thrusday night to stay with SoulDreamX and a few of our friends, and then I'm leaving for the con in the morning. This is going to be interesting concidering I'm not spending over $200. If you've been to a con before...believe me, it's expensive. Oh, and I'll be selling prints like I did at Anthrocon too! $2 for b&w, and $3 for color prints. I should be in the artist alley from time to time, but other than that, I'll set up at random places around the convention center. I'm sure that finding me will be kinda like a good Where's Waldo book.

As for new art, I have one new pic in the Fan Art section, and a bunch in Inked/Line Art. I decided that I'm going to start to ink stuff in Flash. It's just too much fun, and the quality is amazing.

Btw, YES, I'm still working on Cookie Run...it's just taking a lot more time than I thought since I'm now working full time at a CompUSA. Don't worry, once it's done, you all will be the first to know ^_^. ]]> Mon, 15 Aug 2005 00:00:00 GMT <![CDATA[Graduation!...]]> You heard right! I'm officially a college grad! Not only that, but I've moved into my own place. It feels pretty good to be out on my own. Now comes the summer...but...eh...I need to get a job ^_^;

Anywho, BIG news! I have uploaded 2 new flash Animations. Excited? You should be. The first one is a Fanimutaion of Weird Al's Dare to be Stupid. It's completely nuts, and I hope you like it. The second flash animation is the preview for *drum roll* Cookie Run!

This is the project I've been working on for the past couple of weeks, and is my first animated cartoon. The final version will come out sometime during the summer, and I promise it will be awesome! Until then...tell your friends ^_^!
