Heading out of town for the next week, to the wilds of southwest Kansas, so I'll be pretty scarce around here. Everyone have a good week!

BTW, wish me luck on the continuing job hunt; I've got a bunch more applications to send out. I'll let you know more if anything comes of it. *crosses fingers*

P.S. I got to meet on Saturday, which was cool. Now I've met all of two dA people in real life!

Or, I suppose "ahoy" would be more appropriate.

Anyway, I totally stole this idea ("plundered"?) from ... I've got lots of new watchers I've never met, so if you're reading this, please feel free to comment and say HELLO! And just because, go ahead and tell me:

1) Your name
2) One of your favorite books and/or movies
3) Something exciting or fun that you've done lately! (as with last time, this can be anything from "I SAILED AROUND THE WORLD" to "I went bowling!", haha)

I'll answer too!

Hi everyone! I'm Kat, my favorite books are Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series (although I'm on a Georgette Heyer kick right now), and all I ever do is work all the time, so I don't have anything fun to report ... although we did just get a new kitten, so that's pretty cool!



In other news, I've got some funds burning a hole in my Paypal; is there anyone out there open for commissions, on whom I can shower some dollars? (A very moderate shower ... I don't have that many funds!) Leave a comment and let me know.

Sorry for the journal spam, but since people have asked me to keep 'em posted on the job search, here goes an email I got today from a little company you may have heard of:

"Thank you for submitting your resume and/or demo reel regarding the Character Designer position with Pixar. We have reviewed your application and while everyone was impressed with your work, we are unable to utilize your skill set at this time. Please feel free to check our website periodically and apply to future positions of interest.

We sincerely appreciate your interest in Pixar and wish you the best in future career endeavors."

[emphasis totally added, y'all!]

I'm taking this as really encouraging, especially since their site says they can't respond to all submissions; silence is generally how they say "no." So you can bet I'll be watching their job boards like a hawk, waiting for the moment to strike!

I'm also going to be sending my stuff out to the, oh, everyone else who is hiring right now!

He was much too young.

Here's info if you haven't heard of him: [link])

I never read Witchblade, but I really enjoyed Fathom when it started. A creative and talented guy, he will be missed.

Meep! Well I just sent off an email sub to be considered for the latest round of Marvel Sketch Cards! *crosses fingers* Worth a shot, right?

If any of you-all are interested there are details afoot at 's page.

P.S. Thanks for all the supportiveness on last journal; I really appreciate all of you more than I can say!

UPDATE:
I'm in!!!

Now excuse me while I go dancing around the room and shrieking like an idiot!
