Update, Annie Awards, Gallery

I know I know...It's been months since I've last updated this blog. But I've been running around all over the place, from going to Indonesia for our friends' wedding, to going to Hawaii, to going to the same friends' 2nd reception in CA. I've also been running around Cartoon Network a lot lately since I'm working there part time as an assistant to the recording manager. But now I can get back to working on my own stuff.

Miyuki and I went to the Annie Awards last night. They were a lot of fun, ran into some people I have not seen in awhile, and got to take a picture with a personal hero of mine, Andreas Deja.



I was also going to try to get my picture taken with John Lasseter, but he was surrounded by other animation directors, and I just couldn't come up with the courage to ask for a photo, with any of them.


Miyuki also got speak to and take a picture with Frank Gladstone, he seemed so kind, he even tried speaking to her in Japanese, he said "ohayo gozaimasu" which means "good morning." I thought it was funny, but I didn't laugh, I have trouble with Japanese too, and I didn't want to offend him.Overall it was a fun evening, I suggest anybody involved with animation should go at least once.


Also for anybody who hasn't already seen the flier, Miyuki and I are having a gallery showing at Cal State Fullerton from Saturday March 17th to the 23rd. The opening reception is at 6pm Saturday March 17th. Hope to see you there.
