New Year

Nadia — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:51:07 +0000

Hey all! I haven’t been writing for a while. Not too much write about, but I started new project that I reveal after couple months. Hopefully, I can finish it sooner than later.

New semester starts in a week and it will be the last one for me. I’m taking portfolio class, and will be looking for real job soon. I am applying for internship at American Greetings today also. Wish me luck! I really want to work with their Interactive department! It will be amazing experience!

With this new year I want to work more on my drawing skills and animation, so I’ll be posting more works as I progress.
