Well, 2008 was a good year for me all around. I graduated from the University of New Orleans in May of 2008 with a degree in Fine Arts. I haven't been able to find a job as of yet but the time off has given me a bunch of free time to do what i love (which is draw and animate). I was able to release a new game series called Reincarnation along with 6 other games and movies for 2008.
Now to the things you SHOULD know... Not really should but they are cool.
First, the NG Sketchbook Tour 08 is out and if you haven't checked it out yet then you should. It features 108 sketches from members of the NG community.
Second and second, Griswold the Goblin "2": Islands of Fire Chapter 1 is finally done. Ha. Hard to believe right? Honestly, it's true. As of right now we are in the stage of trying to find a sponsor for it so we can bring in some cash for all our hard work. I can't really say this game is totally a sequel to the original Griswold the Goblin which we release back in September of 2005. What we are doing with this new version is breaking into chapters (approximately six total) and showing a more in depth view of the world that Griswold lives in. We have been working on this bad boy since early 2007 and can't wait to finally be able to release it to the web.
Third and third and third, I got heavy into T-shirt designing as of lately. I noticed there is some money to be made at a site called Threadless.com and figured that I would give it a go. I set up a goal for 2009 to accomplish at least 1 semi major thing each day. So, on slow days I make a design and post it over there.
Currently in the running are:
TicTacToe - Epic Battle
Whale
I have 3 more that will probably enter into the running within the week so keep checking back.

That seems to be all for now.
