so.. im done i guess. graduated.. completed school. did my portfolio show and partied hard and awesomely afterwards with some wicked people. all of which im going to miss seeing around all the time.

im gonna miss Herb too. The security guard at the school - hes a stellar man and takes good care of us kids.

Im going to miss coffee at the cafe.. seeing Kim and Sam and Mel. Getting free coffee. im gonna miss shooting the shit with them instead of workin in class.

I'll miss the guys at the cage - mostly because they were hilarious - Chris i think i'll miss most. He made a good smoke break buddy.

Most of all, i'll miss the teachers. Anne and Derek. Thank you for all the hard work you two put in with your students. Thank you for the countless times you've sat and worked through concepts, rationales, errors, anomalies, and printing issues with us and answered what was probably a bazillion emails for critique. Thanks for everything. You two rock so much harder than i think you guys give yourself credz for.

I will NOT, however, miss the long hours, the overlong nights at the school, the rediculous amounts of homework, the stupid f-ing printers which are always either jammed, out of color, or paper, or just plain f'd up, techies being MIA when you need them most (like... when the printers out of toner, jammed, or just plain f'd up), and the perpetual state of rush and worry, stress and strain.

regardless of everything that was bad at that place, everything that was good was awesome and so muchly overweighed anything that went wrong.

Met good people... gained wicked knowledge...

rockin dudes - im fucking done.
holy shit.

oh.. and if you're interested in my stuff or hiring me
