Tikifish: Streetmattress.com rules! My girlfriend needs to get rid of an old mattress set, but I don't think we'll resort to "road-siding" it, but you never know. I'm a senior artist at a video game company called Totally Games. Been here for 4 years, been in games for 10 years. I made a bunch of Star Wars games while at Lucasarts for 5 years back in the early 90s (see http://www.artbot.com). Now I'm on a WW2 flight combat game we're doing for Lucasarts. It's a pretty sweet job. Nobody even blinks when they walk into my office and I'm doing "research" on the PS2! I also have a tiki grotto here in my office. In the past I have been an illustrator, draftsman, graphic designer, set builder, museum exhibit fabricator (my degree is in industrial design from ACCD in Pasadena). I like to cycle on the weekends and try to travel to Hawaii every year (just a month away now!). I collect vintage Hawaiian music (from the teens to the 50s). Am currently trying to buy a house here in the Bay Area, which is the most exciting and depressing thing ever (exciting cuz it's MINE! and depressing cuz the down-payment alone would buy me a house in most other cities.) My master plan is to create my own animated short movie, which I will sell to Nickelodian and serve as executive producer from my mansion in the hills.
