Time to summarize my summer.
Memphis for 11 weeks, for an internship with Resolute Interactive. It was a good experience. I picked up a few new tricks, I felt like I was needed, got some artwork that I can say is out there, made some good connections, ate a ton of pizza. Even get a tablet PC as a gift (still trying to figure out how I can use it.)
You can see what I worked on at garage.appanda.com
On the other hand, I would have liked to work on games, and do more illustration work.
Memphis isn't exactly on my list for places I want to live, considering how it's rich history basically comes from the fact it's such a shit hole, from yellow fever epidemics, Jim Crow laws to it's usual ranking amongst the most dangerous American cities.
Came back to Columbus an a greyhound bus that ran 1.5 hours late. Good thing I didn't have to transfer, or I could have been stuck in some station for 4-5 hours.
I've had a stack of mail waiting in my box, and I knew I had more waiting in the office.
Bad news from the doctor. I thought I was fine when I talked with the nurse in Memphis, but here in Ohio I am told I'm pre-diabetic.
I also have a letter from the IRS saying I owe them money, but I sent a check when I asked for the changes to my forms. I bet that that's going to be a real pleasure.
Tomorrow I need to see if I have a job waiting for me with IT, pay tuition, and see if I can add the internship to my schedule.
Artwork update:
Just a quick digital portrait. Feeling rusty.
Messing with custom brushes.
