I know, right..but using one's imagination must help for heating up the brain. It took my mind off the cold at least.

The director, who I met at "The Animation Show of Shows" here in Savannah, asked for my business card. I pulled out a crinkled piece of scrap paper from my wallet and quickly scribbled my information down as he handed me a thick, shiny new black and orange business card. I felt completely unprofessional. Thank goodness he still looked at my work haha.

All I can say is: it's a great (and slightly stressful) feeling when homework gets in the way of "actual" work. I'll be working on this film and at least one other over the break, extensively. My Deviantart may suffer slightly due to publicity restrictions..so I apologize in advance.

Hope everyone is getting through finals okay! Nearly to the finish now!

The new Tegan and Sara album, Sainthood, came out on Wednesday! I rushed to the mall and picked it up, and is very pleased! The new single, "Hell," is one of their best songs in my opinion, catchy like "The Con." The new album is more "pop-rock" than their older songs, but it's still got that Tegan and Sara quirkiness. And I love that about those adorable twins.

How was everyone's Halloween? Please, I want to know your costumes! My friends had great costumes, including Tippi Hedren from the 1963 classic, "The Birds." We spent all day making it a real eye-catcher. We felt real nice when a group of Savannah City Firemen asked to have their photos taken with us!

Also, I bought Scribblenauts for the DS after hearing some very convincing reviews from friends. So far I've managed to solve each level with the words "wings, hungry man, cupid, and T-Rex." Excellent game, highly recommended.

And for those of you who have not seen "Let the Right One In," see it. It's a Swedish horror (plus romance) film about a young boy and a vampire. This film basically made me like vampires again after...
Thank you, Swedish film industry, for rejuvenating my faith in nocturnal bloodsucking super-humans of the undead. The mood of the film is haunting and invoking, while the cinematography alone is top-par. The "burst into flames" scene, oohhh yes.

I don't think I have ever looked forward to starting school as much as I do this year. Last year was..lackluster. This year holds a lot of new opportunities because I am officially doing the work I want to learn. Let's draw some comics! (I still think I have the coolest major known to mankind.)

So- Here's to the new school year, and the last few weeks of summer. cheers. : )

]]> ~nurcum 15,000 HITS!!!! http://nurcum.deviantart.com/journal/25780113/ http://nurcum.deviantart.com/journal/25780113/ Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:43:11 PDT
A gift from me will come soon. I'm on vacation right now so it's a little hard to get any work done. Sorry!

Commissions are still a plan, but due to an unlikely turn of events I have been offered a job as a model! guess that's what you get when you hang out in California, huh? hehe, well I'm pretty excited. If all pans out right, this may prove to be a pretty good source of MUCH NEEDED income. Either way, I will always love work from you guys over any dumb model job, so I'm going to try my best to make these art commissions a reality.

Gift..
For you..
when I get back home!

Have a great July! Drive Recklessly and Live Dangerously!

]]> ~nurcum wow almost 15,000 pageviews! http://nurcum.deviantart.com/journal/25645425/ http://nurcum.deviantart.com/journal/25645425/ Tue, 30 Jun 2009 07:24:07 PDT
I am excited! Today is San Fransisco : ) Then on to the Monterrey Aquarium with some old friends. I haven't been to the aquarium since I was seven, and supposedly it is one of the best ones on the pacific. I'm pretty stoked- especially since they have a new exhibit on seahorses, and I mean- what's more exciting than tiny horses???

Then it's down to Los Angeles for me! I convinced my mother to send me down alone, but I'll be meeting up with friends. Pasadena is gorgeous. I almost ended up going to school there actually, at Art Center, which has a wonderful concept art program. Not sure what I'll do down there. Beach, Hollywood, Disneyland. Btw, This is what summer is all about when you can't find a job! haha! (that's right all you suckers who found a source of income)

But once all my fun and foolery is done it's back to Portland. I'm not complaining my friend Harlan has some poke-presents for me waiting. If only he'd give me his shineys (Ninetails and Roserade, c'mon!)...but I've begged him too much already. More nights of dancing is in store for me and the guys, and Voodoo Doughnuts, where "the magic is in the hole."

Better start working on my thank you for everyone who has visited the gallery. I really appreciate it! You guys are great, as always.

Take Care!!!

]]> ~nurcum figured after subscribing i may as well start usin http://nurcum.deviantart.com/journal/25485471/ http://nurcum.deviantart.com/journal/25485471/ Mon, 22 Jun 2009 23:40:32 PDT
moods aren't working for me right now. Guess I'm stuck with optimism. Not that I'm complaining- optimism is excellent. Commissions are still a go, but I need to stop procrastinating and get my act together. They will be ready soon, I promise. A lot has been going on lately. Grad parties, homecoming lunches, pokemon battles (of course!), my brother's birthday, KUNG-FU!!!, and a very energetic night out clubbing.

Those of you from SCAD, especially those in the Sequential Department, probably know about Bob Pendarvis and his unfortunate situation. Basically, Bob was fired from SCAD for giving out too many A's. (I know!, right?) Bob is a great guy who not only offered me a place in his book the first time we met, but has been a great friend and professor to all his students. He deserves the right to teach in the department he started! If anyone is interested- I have the full story from Bob himself as well as info on how to help him out- give me your email address and I'll forward you all the info.

I hope everyone is safe and well, and enjoying an excellent and beautiful summer!

]]> ~nurcum Soon to Come :: Summer Commissions! http://nurcum.deviantart.com/journal/25079415/ http://nurcum.deviantart.com/journal/25079415/ Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:47:24 PDT
I will soon be offering summer commissions of personal characters or concept artwork as requested. I'm still working out the prices, so any suggestions would be appreciated. How much would you be willing to pay for a full character sketch? color?

The payment would be via Paypal, and each buyer would receive a high resolution, print quality file in addition to a smaller web-ready jpg. I will be devoting all of my time and effort to these due to the fact that- not only do I value your purchase- but this would be my sole source of income for the entirety of the summer.

So I'm hoping to have everything worked out and in order by next week, and am looking forward to hearing from those of you who may be interested!!!

Thanks, have a great start to summer!

~Cassandra
