Days of Future Past
As most college graduates will tell you, the first few months post graduation can be pretty rough. For me, the apathy that struck me manifested itself in a complete absence of any real work done artistically for nearly 4 months. Being coaxed along by freelance work, I am now free of that trap, at least for the time being.
No longer contending with my lack of drive, my plans for the future are as follows:
-Travel to the San Francisco area in March to attend the 2009 Game Developers Conference. Because it’s easier for me to assume I won’t have a career by then, this is my next concrete attempt to show somebody what I am capable of, and being able to talk to somebody in person I feel is an advantage I need in order to express how I work and how I think. So in the mean time, I will be filing my time with freelance and hitting refresh on my inbox, looking for open positions I can fire off applications at.
-In close proximity to the conclusion of GDC09 I have a larger decision to make. Assuming again I don’t get a job or internship (in order to validate further planning) I will either be attending the concept design academy, or I’ll try entering a company via QA. This will require somebody in HR who will hold the job for me as I relocate myself from Omaha Nebraska, for a position usually open to locals.
In the mean time, I will continue to juggle my job at Target and my pseudo career of commissions.
