That's from my first game I programmed for independent release by me. I've done some programming gigs here and there for some clients, but had not done anything for my own endeavours.It's based on the fast pace these social networking sites come by and dissappear, and how addictive it is to gain as many friends, followers, etc, and let them know everything about your life. 15 seconds of fame, is literally how long web fame lasts. Anyways, you can check out the game at the following link:

Me on CBS like two weeks ago or something! News coverage of the Dear Mr. President project Kidthing.com did.








Fun Facts about this picture:


1.Me without a hat, reason, We were waiting for the news people to finish so we could attend an afterparty at some fancy hotel, so I had to dress fancy.

2.I had to hide my Diet Coke can, I usually have a couple behind the monitor. I'm trying to save the world, by recycling cans.

3.I had to hide my ipod. My ipod is always connected. When I don't forget it.

4.I don't have earphones on, I always have them on....

5. I silkscreened my own dragon design on that shirt, thought it's blurry in the image.

6.There's two monitors on my desk. Only one is plugged, been lazy to buy the adapter to hook the other one up, though I work on two monitors at home.

7.You can see Lisa's and Haruko's heads in the background

8.The dude standing next to me is the company's CEO, and the girl in the black and white poster behind him is his daughter. She's the voice of kidthing heard on the current video on the homepage of the website.

9.I cleaned my desk, but somehow it always looks messy regardless.
10.I never use the mouse under the monitor.

11.I no longer work on that computer, I've changed computers 3 times since then, due to a wonky FONT making me believe the computers were defective.

12.We were supposed to leave the office at 4:30pm. The time of this footage is roughly 6:30pm. We were all off the clock pretending to work.

13. I was making stuff up, and was really stiff and nervous....

14.That's not Lisa's artwork on the screen, I at one point said, "I have to make it look cool".

15.There's a screaming slingshot monkey that has a "Hire Me" pin button that kinda blends with my hair in this particular shot.

16. The group of papers on the wall to the right of the huge red ribbon above my head, are sketches of Nicholas Night as the Lorax, that we all drew.

17. I actually didn't want to appear.

18. Lisa was ducking the entire time to come out, but she still managed to.

I've applied for the special and very rare opportunity to attend a special "Flash Animation" class that is going to be held on Saturdays during May, and one final class on the first weekend of June. Taken from the Coldhardflash post "The class is being hosted and taught by 5 of the best independent animation studios in Los Angeles - Animax, Oddbot, Renegade, Six Point Harness and Titmouse." This is something I did for FUN using the source files that were given to take two Flash test.



Hopefully I get accepted

Why I haven't posted..... not sure anybody even reads my blog....anyways, I'm still recovering from the last couple of days, I had no weekend, and worked 10 hour+ days, which might be a good thing nowadays... right?

Anyways, this is what I was working on:

I animated the page flips, usually we have actionscript code handle them but due to the unique design and layout of this project, we just didn't go that route. I also animated 3 of the kid's submissions, I didn't redraw anything, just cut out their art and did short animations, I got interesting results. This project has gotten some news coverage, check it out the links, couldn't embed here.

From Tampa Bay

Ok this post has nothing to do with animation, or art, well maybe art, ok, umm it has to do with my creativity, and how I see the world differently... I guess. So bartending is a hobbie of mine, and aspire to one day, maybe, just maybe, host my own parties at my house and bartend, or bartend weekend gigs or something along those lines.Anyhow, I bought this 3 Panel Candle Holder, and when I saw the little glasses that hold the actual candles, the thought that came to mind is those look like shot glasses. So if you are invited to a party or a gathering by me in the near future, you might just be able to see this in person. We are calling it "The Great Wall O' Shots!". Its not meant to be as a let's get wasted on shots, but an invitation to get the party started, a greeting of a sort, anyhow, here are the Pictures....

Finally done with Animation and sound for this(Street Fighter II Newgrounds Animation). I wasn't too happy with the ending at first, so I kept thinking about how to give it that extra POW!, and last minute, I added in some stuff as always.






Yes....Somebody gets hurt, after all it is a Street Fighter Animation!


PS. I bought what I've baptized as "The Great Wall O' Shots!", picture coming soon.

I was suppose to finish up animation on the Street Fighter piece for Newgrounds today but got carried away by some audio I came accross last nite. It's President Obama using some pretty funny colorful language, I couldn't help it, I had to do something with it. An animation might have taken too long, so I did this lil widget instead. Feel free to embed anywhere you'd like. I'll post whatever simple sketches I did for this later.

hmm couldn't post the swf on here, i'll post it on the side or something, here's the link to it on newgrounds.

Two more screenshots from the Street Fighter II animation I'm working on for the Newgrounds Collab. I was going to post more, but it might reveal the story too soon. Anyway, animation is almost done, I just have to go back an add details like shadows, and highlights and what not, and then will move onto drawing BGs.
