Tell us about yourselves: I've been on the internet since forever. Because of this, I tend to get around. I'm finishing up a graduate degree in computer animation this winter. I also have some very fun credentials! For instance, I've done the cartridge art for three different homebrew Atari games, and have had two different guest comics published here at 8-Bit Theater. I've always wanted to start my own comic, but I just never had the time. Instead, I've recently started a flash cartoon, Strategy Guide, which is based on a space alien who reviews old Nintendo games. The first episode was more popular than I could have expected, and I'm trying to gather more fans - check my sig for all the appropriate links. I'm a Photoshop, Flash, and Maya guru, so I have a ton of experience in most digital media.
