I'm an artist for a video game developer, Warthog Texas.

I've also written a Maya book which should hopefully come out in the next couple months.

Hell, I don't even know what I do. My job title is completely unrelated to my work, but just general techie at a Higher Educational establishment covers it. (yay, academic discounts!)

I was someone who worked at a white-shirt, management career for over 20 years, and became disabled due to a degenerative nerve condition similar to Lou Gehrig's disease.

Now I'm discovering my second career, which is as a 3d artist, and loving it. Sometimes the world works in funny ways. I never would have had the courage to leave my job and try something new until forced to.

Heh, been working at Eat'n Park Restaurant for a couple of months now. Wouldn't mind switching over to CG but school and work get in the way a lot.

I'm a commercial pilot in Holland and hope 2 use some of my impressions taken in from abroad in CG. ( so far, I'm much better in flying than CG-and my passengers don't mind at all...-)

Been sick and had all misfortune in the world, oh no not all... knocking my wood...Learned myself 3D for 2 years, bought LW end of April, knew nearly nothing about it, good offer, lol.
