A follow up to yesterdays self-portrait. Dressed a bit sharper this time. What a day! Two interviews really took it out of me. Fingers crossed. Job hunting sucks! Was hoping to get a better shot but it started to rain on me, damn it. It's a lot of work getting these kind of shots set-up if your new to portraits with lighting. Need my fiancee to model for me so I don't have to go back and keep checking the camera...
Inevitable Question 19e:
What did your previous employer think of you?
My last boss often told me that my IQ was much, MUCH bigger than my boobs!!
With the economy failing my Retirement Savings are failing too. It's getting so bad I'm thinking I may have to come out of retirement and get a job. I've been going through the want ads just to see what is available...it is not encouraging!! If I knew how to speak Spanish I'd have more opportunities. I'm not a happy camper!!
I was invited by the editors of Merge magazine to design the cover of their May 2009 edition. The brief was to deliver pixel art, illustrating an article about jobseeking in the current economic climate.
This image began with a screenshot from the NES classic, Duck hunt. A few tweaks and a new colour palette later, enter 'Job Hunt'. The ladder and stairs remind me of Donkey Kong a little too.
If you enjoy my pixel art, check out Dead Pixel Designs... I've made some unique merchandise featuring original pixel art, including this design and many others... on shoes, apparel and even recipe binders. I will be adding plenty of new designs in the coming months, so keep an eye on that page ;)
Dear Sir/Madam,
Oh hai! You don't know this yet, but you really need to hire me. Like, really really. Cause I'm pretty good at what I do. And I can be pretty fun to have around. And did I mention that I'm good at what I do? I'm creative AND different! So you should hire me... OK?
Awesome!
Hugs and kisses,

Day 11 of However Many Days I Feel Like Doing
Day 9 of 365 – HELP WANTED
My cell phone rang this morning as I walked into work. It was my Contracting company letting me know that their client terminated my contract effective today. I could go on for days about the horrible circumstances and rant about the people involved however it would do any good. When I finally came to peace and the rant was complete, I would still be unemployed. Leaving today was bitter sweet. Bitter because I love my job, bitter because.....well let's just say because and leave it at that. Tomorrow is a new day filled with a plethora of opportunity and wonderful possibilities. I guess you could say I've reached the next "crossroads" of life.
Keep your head up!

Job hunting is such a nasty struggle, constantly dehumanizing, perpetually banal. I wish I were better at it, so it could be over and done with. Anyone need a production or admin assistant? How about a photographer? Or an article written? Edited? In addition to a multitude of cultural and creative works I also have extensive experience in office and administrative management, as well as Constructive Criticism and Evaluation Skills, Troubleshooting, Multi-tasking and other nifty buzzwords. I have an unlikely array of skills and am extremely organized. I'm also a pyrotechnic, I play the saw, I can dye hair with a modicum of flair, I'm retraining as an aerialist, I've helped run two venues, a movie theater and an after-hours, I started my own business, take dictation, run a blog that's won two small awards, and helped found a flashmob movement that went global when I wasn't looking.
And yet, out of the hundred applications I've sent out these past few weeks, I've only received three call-backs, and one of them was so tawdry as to practically be a scam.
been a long time since i've been in the right frame of mind to take selfs, but managed to get some headshots I don't hate today

I saw this posted on the Stanford campus. The modern paper chase: do you want an old-school babysitter or high-tech geek sitter? Are there pros and cons?

This is me auditioning for the front window display position at Mal*Wart. They said I was too risque for their audience and didn't look plastic enough. They also questioned if I was made in China. I showed them my birth certificate proving I was born there, but they still said "Sorry, no jobs here!" I told them I work for nothing though, but they said, "So do the rest of our workers!"
