>1994 was a big year. It was the year I gave up on a path and started to forge a new one. In May of 1994 we moved from San Jose, California where I was teaching part-time at 3 Community Colleges AND working as a manager at Eulipia Restaurant to Broken Arrow, a suburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

In the next weeks I will show some of the images from my time in Tulsa as an artist/animator in my new job. You will see an interesting change but at the same time you will see that I never really change ALL that much.
