Today's Surprise:

Showed up at the office this morning and was told that I’ll be heading to 六本木/Roppongi to help out on the set of a photo shoot for next year’s Aristrist catalogue. I should read the job calendar more often! In fact, I should just read it period.

Happy New Year: 2011 Review

This is my final post for 2011 taking a look back at my year of events. So sit back with some nog and enjoy the read. It’s been an interesting year indeed! Korea, Canada, and Japan. From teaching English in a mountain town to graphic/web design in Yokohama and Tokyo. Drifting in Toyama and crashing in Nagano. Earthquakes, tsunamis, meltdowns, and organizing a charity event within a week....

PSA using AfterEffects This video was made with Illustrator and AfterEffects. Regretfully, it also happened to utilize my voice recordings from a sound booth as well. Though cheesey, it displays an example of my AfterEffects skills.
