Ah, shucks.

Thanks, Mike! Always great when you pop in!

Thanks, Lauren! I hope you can see how much your draw-over helped!

Thanks Jessie! At first, I thought this gig development was unique but this morning I just realized it has actually happened a few times – where personal pursuits blended seamlessly into work. For this to happen, we have to be in a decent environment – and have a great attitude about it. I did have one workplace where this approach didn’t work as I hoped, but it was still profitable in other ways. The first thing I do is find out what the owner/director is interested in. Second, I give 100% toward their professional interests. Third, I find myself fortunate to work with great leaders – they make innovation possible. When my current store director came to me and wanted me to create a project that helped me in animation, this imposter project quickly popped into my mind … And I think they loved my pitch BECAUSE I was already in tune with their interests.

It’s funny, after I rigged my first character I said I wouldn’t be doing that again…little did I know this adventure was ahead. Thanks again, Jessie for asking. Hope this helps someone!
