Happy 2012.
I am living in LA, California for the next 6 months, skipping the rainy season in Sao Paulo and getting used to the city, how everything works here and happy with a not that cold winter this year.
I am here for a 2 term with 6 disciplines each, at Gnomon School of Visual Effects. All this is part of my training to be accepted as an instructor at Axis School of Visual Effects in Sao Paulo, a job that I was hired about 3 weeks before coming here. Axis is a join venture between Saga and Gnomon to bring high-end training in Visual Effects and animation for Brazilian and South-American students, It is a really important moment in the CG area for Brazil and I am proud to be part of it.
So far, my experience here is being really cool. A lot of things to practice in character design, environment design, anatomy, cinematography, storyboarding and more cool stuff and definitely will be a huge improve on my skills as a traditional and digital artist.
The Instructors at Gnomon are really nice people and very talented professionals, some of them deeply inserted in the core of Hollywood visual effects studios.
So, no new artwork for now, but I will post some sketches really soon.
Take care.
