Musings

I have always had a deep love for animation and illustration. In 2003, while attending San Jose State, I met my wife. At the time, I was a liberal studies major, with plans to graduate and eventually teach at the elementary school level. I then met my wife, who was an Art History major. I then started hanging out in the art building. That's when everything changed.

I happened upon the Animation/Illustration BFA show for that year. Amazed by the jaw-dropping work that I saw, a seed was planted in my brain that eventually made me change my major to art. Unfortunately, I had already been in school for a very long time at that point, so I looked to obtain an art degree that got me out of school the fastest, pushing Animation/Illustration to the back burner. After a stint in the real world, working at a horrendous job, my wife encouraged me to return to obtain education with my true love, A/I.

I've taken GE courses in Astronomy, Chemistry and Oceanography. I've also taken many drawing and painting courses. I've just started classes both in 2d and 3d animation.

I always thought that I would love to be a Visual Developer, but have come to realize that I might want to pursue animation or storyboarding. As of right now, things are up in the air.

First Post

Let this posting serve as proof that I, Carlos Luis Nunez, am indeed able to use a blog.
