The Grind Continues
It’s been a fairly quiet week, at least as far as my personal life goes. I spent most of it knocking up artwork in ‘Photoshop’, nothing too spectacular really, it was really just to keep my mind active.
I also took the time to look at my resume and make some adjustments, taking the time to do research on what makes for a perfect resume, while taking care to avoid the stereotypical mistakes that most of us fall into. You’d be surprised at just how similar the average job application really is and just how monotonous they all end up looking. Anyway after some reading it became very obvious that my resume was as cliche as the rest, and so I began the daunting task of trying to make it more presentable. While it sounds like a fairly straight forward procedure, it turned out to a marketing nightmare. Just imagine that you worked for Pepsi or Coke and you needed to come up with a winning campaign, well that’s what it’s like trying to market yourself by way of a resume – no pressure right?
Long story short I’m still working on it, and for those of you interested in finding out how to get ahead of the competition or just making yourself more marketable you can find some good info here.
Ran into an old friend of mine this week, who just happens to be a very established artist and photographer as well you should give her blog a look. You can find it here.
Tech News
So in case you missed it there’s a new Wolfenstein game being released soon. If you’re an older gamer you’d remember the classic Nazi supernatural thriller with Hitler decked out with dual machine guns and all. It was the first 3D corridor shooter which later paved the way for Doom and the other greats. Definitely one to look out for.
Intel got slapped with an ant-trust lawsuit in the UK for strong-arm tactics against ‘Advanced Micro Devices’ (AMD). I can’t wait for them to go after M$, but anyway, hopefully they’ll learn to play nice with others now.
Fun Stuff
For those of you who don’t know where to go or what to do, there’s Crop Over in Barbados (which is just a fancy name for carnival) so be sure to check it out. It really is a unique experience which most folks are sure to enjoy.
In my travels through the net I occasionally come across some very interesting things, this one was no exception. EXKARRAVELHO’s flickr site has some truly inspiring illustrations of various themes – from cartoon to abstract, some really great work if you’re into illustrations or art in general.
On the topic of illustrations, I found a very handy site for various brushes for ‘Illustrator’ and ‘Photoshop’ and did I mention that they’re free? Well if that doesn’t sound like a deal I honestly don’t know what is. You can find them here on www.vecteezy.com a silly name, but all in all a great resource.
I have quite a few brushes myself and I’ll post them here as time goes by since they still need to be categorized.
Inspire Greatness!
