College! The Future! Newgrounds!

I recently (~2 month ago) entered college in NYC! I'm here for art and design, and every day I'm bombarded with new experiences. Being around such creative people and learning so many new things has its benefits, but I've also had 0 time for anything else. That being said, I still have a few small things cooking that will hopefully see the light of day.

To say that Newgrounds had an impact on what I wanted to do with my life isn't even an exaggeration at all. Back when I first signed up I was overwhelmed with the creativity and community that Newgrounds has. Over the course of 7 years I've seen a ton of talented artists, animators, programmers, wrtiers, and musicians go into the professional feild as a result of their time here. It's incredibly inspiring seeing indie game companies being born out of flash games on Newgrounds *cough*I-smel*cough* *cough*TheBehemoth*cough* and animators go on to have huge internet followings. I'm still trying to figure out my own path, but thanks to Newgrounds I know it'll at least be a creative one.

Ok blahblahblah sentimental stuff over. BLESS.

It's funny, I told I-Smel to keep the wheel turning (success momentum) and to start saving for retirement... and he deleted my comment! Guy can dish it out, but can't take it. Anyway, I'm glad you're properly building on your already formidable skills! Use your brain to decrease your workload and increase productivity - think smarter, not work harder ;)

I completely understand and can relate to this a lot! Newgrounds helped me find animation and I now work as a professional animator from home. It's very rewarding and I'm very grateful to Newgrounds for helping me find this path :)

I hope school works well for you- it did for me. Just know that Art School is ALL about what you put in, regardless of how good or bad the school is- it all comes down to your effort. Best of luck!

Absolutely! You get out what you put in.

This is completely unrelated, but I really enjoyed playing 'BAGGING MASTAR' back in the day.
Keep up the pixels!

Thank you! It's weird to think that it's been 3 years since I released anything. Starting to feel very guilty. Thanks for the support!
