Will Work for Food

It's been a while since I updated the rant column. A lot has happened since the last update.

First, I am in urgent need of work. Full-time or contract employment is something that I sorely need! Of course, freelance projects are equally desired. If you need a web site built or designed, or if you need illustration or music, please consider contacting me. Both my rates and quality are better than competitive. For employers, I will send my r?sum? via e-mail on request. Take a look at the business site to view my portfolio.

Somehow, it's become clear that finding work in the field of IT has become much more of a challenge. To help the situation, I've recently started taking online courses in order to finish my bachelor's degree. As far as many employers see it, skills and experience mean absolutely nothing if a candidate hasn't finished a degree. If you're in the same boat I am, I very strongly recommend finishing your degree. University of Phoenix Online is where I?m taking care of this, so please check it out if you?re considering online courses.

Now it?s time to explain 2214?s unexpected second hiatus. While 2214?s officially on hold, it isn?t so due to my intentions. Between the most intense, frantic job search of my career, and taking care of some other issues, the enjoyable leisurely activity of drawing web comics has to take a back seat. When 2214 is updated again, it will remain a free web comic.

I will admit that I have been working on music as well, although the time consumed for these projects has been much less than what would be required for drawing. The purpose of this is to develop better skills as a composer, in order to widen my horizons and perhaps find a bit of work composing music. The latest song is "Sacrosanct Parallel", a classical piece created with the intention to allow an actual orchestra to perform it. If you would like the sheet music for this piece, please contact me and I will e-mail it to you. If you prefer something of the hard rock variety, "Mulletime" might be more to your liking.

So, now you know what's going on, stay tuned. If 2214 isn't updated there will at least be more music and art in the future.
