My Bio
I'm updating my old bio after 14 years. Jesus, been 14 years already? Aside from embarrassing myself reading all the old stuff I wrote down, it definitely was a blast-from-the-past for me reading what kind of online personality I was long ago...when I was 19...in the year 2005. So, I thought I would go back through all this and update anyone about me who cares or still follows me.

I am married now, have a kid, going to college late in life to study Computer Science and I'm in my Senior year. Almost done. After I graduated high school 14 years ago I never really did much with my artwork. I just worked job to job trying to stay afloat in life. I eventually got a job with the government and stayed there for over 6 years before leaving to go to college. I've been married for 4 years now, had heart valve surgery 3 years ago, and I have a 2 year old boy and many more personal events in life between. So, a lot has happened to me in just the last few years of my life. Yet, I've never given up on my greatest passion in life, developing story concepts. I build universes in my head and exercise my imagination freely in my stories. Even if nothing more ever comes from my art, music, or writing, my imagination will never stop. So, I may have nothing new to post as far as character concepts on DeviantArt, I still have new ideas constantly and I wish I could find the time in life to materialize them into art, drawings, or something more than just an idea in my head. I appreciate all who has followed me over the years and I hope to deliver more someday, because I will never delete my DeviantArt profile, I'm here to stay.

Current Residence: Spokane, WA

Favorite Genres of Music
Electronica, Retro Synth-Wave 80's style, anything down-tempo chill, Orchestral or Instrumental, and Indie Alternative or Folk & Bluegrass.

Anime, Dark horror and macabre, Hard or Military Sci-Fi, and Abstract.

Tsutomu Nihei, Yoji Shinkawa, and Hidetaka Miyazaki for his imagination

Other Interests
Creating anything
Ok, maybe for the whole two people out there that even watch my art, (I gratefully bow to you) I've been in a very boring artist block with work and girlfriend distracting my modestly creative mind.  So, after almost a year and a half of no activity, I'm finally at it again. Starting off with complete new revisions of my characters and mechas.  First I'm starting with redesigning my androids, to resemble a more human-like figure.  Then I plan on doing a group photo of my Archangels. Updates and art posts will go up soon...

So, I'm having the worst artist block in my life.  (The world just ended)  nahhh It's ok though, I try sketching, doodling, or sribble and it just looks horrible and I cant't get any ideas outta my head, and I know exactly why--work!  Working 70 hours a week and being finacially broke, kinda leaves me with hardly any free time, stressed out, and depressed.  But, things will get better when I can pull myself out of the hole.  (^_^)

I've spent the last few hours researching available jobs out there involving character design or character modeling.  But, since this is out of pure curiousity, I'm wondering does anyone know of any companies, colleges, or groups who might hire somebody like me.  As you can see the style of character modeling I do, I stick with the traditional style of pencil and pen, but most of the guys out there are looking for 3D stuff, and I say "I dont swing that way, bro!".  So, if anybody knows any info about his stuff out there, I would really appeciate it, I would just love to apply my skills and materialize my imagination.  Thanks  ^_^ ~Matt

Hey hey, Thanks for the +Fav and the watch :D
well now u got ur scanner, lets see all of your stuff :D esp that comic you got me interested about!
Ok, I went to Acen the other day :gallery: and lets say I've been hit with the odd shaped paddle of inspiration :idea:. I met a few kick-ass artists :woot:, I'm picky with my interests in art, but I found a few that actually suit my taste and STYLE. So, I've been working hard even before Acen, designing and drawing the coolest mecha and anime characters I can think of that fit my story. So, I think I'm gonna borrow my friend's scanner and upload some of my :shithappens: and post some of my newer work, since my art on here is nearly a year old, OMG fhudasfhashfashfoas needs an update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry I got a small spazm of hyperness)
