Ed and Nat

I looked them in the eyes and lied.

June 2012 I attended Career Day at a middle school downtown. I arrived in the hospitality room where I sat between a librarian, a fireman, and a social worker. I addressed myself as a "Freelance Animator" and we laughed at the idea of "hyping kids up to become one of us".... and then we felt sad.

I felt like I didn't have enough experience to be at the career fair because I just got out of college and my dreams haven't come to fruition. I overcame my doubts when I gave a presentation about games, animation, and online media. I was able to show the students why I became a freelance animator and I planted the seed of inspiration in their crazy pre-teen noggins.

I felt dumb for not acknowledging my skills and experience, It's what got me my current jobs in the first place! I may not own a studio (yet) or make tons of money but I've worked with enough individuals and companies to fully understand my occupation and to know that my career is evolving.
