I'm graduating in a couple months or a month or something. Portfolios are always a pain so I try to make them fun. I always put a couple original drawings in there on title cards and stuff. I know you're not supposed to include originals, but my hope is that people will see that I love to draw. Haha, can't say that it's worked yet.
In my surfing days I remember when I could fill up my tank for $20 and still get change back so that I could flip the bums playing guitars on the sand a couple bucks. Now every time I go surfing I get sick with polluted waters, I'm broke, and the bums are shipped overseas probably playing guitars amidst mortar shells. Not to get political or anything.
My good pal Aaron Paetz hosts a narrative drawing class at Nickelodeon on Thursdays at lunch. If you're at the studio on Thursdays, you should drop by. It's a hoot!
