Like I said earlier, if you do feel a major move would be best for you and your wife, why not do some reconnaissance first. Come out and see the city for yourself. I'll be glad to give you two a tour.<BR/><BR/>re; graphics: stand by for a quick portfolio review...somewhere {*;-)}Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1147330284790909652006-05-10T23:51:00.000-07:002006-05-10T23:51:00.000-07:00Of course I'd like to see some of your graphic des...Of course I'd like to see some of your graphic design work! Dinner and an earful sounds wonderful also, more incentive for me to get off my butt and follow my dreams to Hollywood :) Its just such a difficult decision to make, the concept of leaving the home I've known all my life is completely terrifying to me. My wife on the other hand has been to L.A. and would pack up tomorrow in the blink of an eye if I said "Lets go!"...think I might have to go have my tea leaves read, a bit of metaphysical guidance (there's a beautiful little place in the Quarter called Bottom of the Cup Tea Room)...UbaTuberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777541540454167277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1147190445157339032006-05-09T09:00:00.000-07:002006-05-09T09:00:00.000-07:00Thanks, Jeffery, That's a great point I hadn't tho...Thanks, Jeffery, That's a great point I hadn't thought of, the different armatures will lend different movement to various types of characters. Right on!<BR/><BR/>Overwhelm, yep, mine's a little different I think, the puppet making doesn't phase me, that's fun, but the parts I don't know yet get me, animation performance, camera technique, sound syncing, and the length of time needed to craft everything. That's what grips me at times. I shake it off, focus on today's small step. After a million times of that, I'll be halfway through.<BR/><BR/>I worked on just three theater pieces in New York strictly because because they were for Julie Taymor and I worshiped her genius. It was life changing, duh. I handmade scrapbooks of behind the scenes photos I took during all three, travels to Italy and exotic wilds of Brooklyn for her productions. I've got some great stories. None of that is posted anywhere out of respect for Julie's ownership of her art. But if you came over, I could give you dinner and an earful.<BR/><BR/>My work since New York has been computer graphic design of print campaigns, book covers, identities, etc. I've been very low key about it, without having to court a project for the last few years. No site for graphics either. But if for some reason you wanted to see my work, I'd be glad to post a few so you get the idea.<BR/><BR/>The overview really is that while I'm good at innovative, creative designing with paper for a client, it takes FORE-frickin-ever for me to deliver a finished brilliant design. I'm slightly distracted by, oh, I don't know...either my health limitations or...

I'd love to see some of your theatre work...UbaTuberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777541540454167277noreply@blogger.com
