Unemployment Traffic = Austin Rush Hour Just The Same

Scanning your face IS fun-but already I digress...

It's 11:00am in Austin, TX, USA and the Texas Workforce Commission's website for claiming unemployment benefits isn't letting me through...which means...this website is getting pounded by fellow unemployed Texans. The good news is - the unemployment funds are being utilized.

I worked on a fun project this weekend with some old UT Film mates, as well as several fresh faces. Made some great contacts including a 22-year-old female "pilot and ice hockey skater super-grip." I was surrounded by talent - which was exactly perfect and what I needed. I parted ways with my awesome Russian pink switchblade with glee. The producer and I hit it off and made plans to collaborate in the near future, so, I figured this was the obvious best display of 'setiquette.'

I've found some great jobs already that I'm in the process of going for including some opportunities at my Alma Mater. Today continues the keyboard pounding, SEND button pushing, and maybe some creative writing...

A New Year

Hey folks! Getting back into the job market can be a daunting task, but let's grab it by the horns, shall we?
It's a new year. I have a new name. Let's do it.

A quick summary about myself :

In terms of my experience, I have worked in multimedia production for the past eight years in Austin, namely in video journalism, and currently, production art for a casino gaming company. I am a proven leader and creative contributor in product management as well as a team leader and communications liaison between game development and upper management. I am skilled in production design, concept development, and especially inter-departmental communications. Whether I’m networking with vendors, or preparing for large tradeshows, I have consistently been regarded as a valued team member that strives to use experiences as my guide and humor as my benchmark.

I am best suited in a workforce that is creative, tight, open-minded and loves a "Jill-of-All-Trades."

Currently, I'm working in general film production, establishing and co-launching a central Texas magazine, and looking for steady, enjoyable work in Austin!

I love skater/tattoo culture, Day of the Dead/Mexican-American kitschy art, Graffiti techniques, surrealism, and cartoons. My style is that of a sketch or concept artist, and I love to work fast. I paint whenever i can, and sew plush characters - soon to be featured on www.duckyluckstudios.com!
