I don't normally get the opportunity to hang out with old friends from art school as much as I'd like considering the fact that I work 8 jobs but last week I got to hang out with some old friends who I started at Art Center with waaaay back in 1998. At the time we were all wondering if we were good enough to work and make a living professionally and 9 years later here we all are reflecting on what we've done so far. My friends Nik and Chris both came to the college right out of high school with already amazing skills wheres I was fresh out of getting a biology degree from another college.
Nik, the guy on the left, is now a wunderkind art director at Wieden + Kennedy (only one of the finest ad agencies in the world).
Chris, the guy on the right, was one of the leading visual developers of the hit movie "Monster House". He just wrapped up working on the film version of Niel Gaiman's book "Coraline" and is currently working on another huge project which I am hush hush about.
Both of them are under 30
So a few words for those of you who are currently in art school and are wondering what's in your future.....
Anything is possible.
Check out my friends site. They're amazing.
