There is nothing quit like CTN to help put you back in perspective guys. For those that don’t know CTNX ( Creative Talent Network Expo) is an animation convention held in Burbank, CA that features an extensive amount of talented artists and workshops geared primarily for animation. Would I particularly recommend going to all the workshops…. Yes and No. Yes, because there isn’t too much to do if you don’t go and they do have some solid nuggets of information. No, since the “workshop” is just a rushed 45min speech. Most of the my critical learning moments at CTN have come from harassing veteran artist that I’ve heard of and forcing them to review my portfolio as if I have the thickest skin in the world.  One big conclusion that I’ve found is I’ve lost some focus with my Visual Development portfolio and it’s a gotten a bit too “gamey” so I’ve just gotta steer it back on course. On the positive side people love my color work, fresh ideas and some may say I actually have a bit o talent. All in all I’m definitely inspired to continue unlocking my potential and start making some damn entertainment!

Meanwhile a start to something new.
