Hmmm, What to say about me.....

I think I will start at the biggening, First there was
nothing then a big Ban...... No, no, no, alittle to far back
Lets go back to when I first became a fan :)
A cupple of months after watching "The Lion King" we finally
got our first Modem a slow old thing but worked none the less
as soon as it was installed what do you think was the first thing
I went searching on, ok ok what was the second thing I went
searching for :)
And I found lionking.org, an awsome web site for all to come and
look for pictures, sounds and all kinds of things. It Grew
and grew until what you see today, I remember the Chat room that
was there once, best place, lots of going ones there.

After a cupple of years as I got older, I started abit of character
Drawing for myself, never got to far in it because I
always thought I wasn't good enough to be doing it.

Then I came across "The Chronicles of the Pride Lands" by John Burkitt,
changed my life forever. one of the best books I've
ever read. After that started to find jobs first one I found
was at a CD Store (of corse) then went on to full time work at
a Media Company and had a Part time job at a Lion Park looking
after the Cubs, but after awile I didn't feel at peace to I decided
to take up Game Rangeing, I loved it, a very tough industry to get into
but very cool.

After Cycleing with the Rhino's and dinning with the Lions, I decided to come
back to town, and get a job at an animal sanctury again. I met a guy that work
for a "Bird of Prey Centre" and tried there for awile until, I decided to leave
on personal reasons.

And now, I have found my calling something that I've been wanting to do all my life
"Animation" I've always loved animation, from the 1980's till now. So I took up Fine
Arts to better my hands. I must say that over the year I must have picked up a tallent
cause my water colours don't look bad at all.

Well I just finished my passed my Fine Arts and on
my way onto 3D animation with Softimage XSI.
