Great sites, great foods and great people!<br />Though I think I can do without having a big angry monkey charging and screaming inches from my face ever again! I now believe monkeys are good times from a good distance!<br />The big news is it looks like I am soon to be a represented Artist in the children's publishing industry with Nicole Tugeau of the Tugeau 2 agency! Nicole has been great to talk with and I'm really excited to see what may come out of this working relationship!<br />And if that's not enough, I'm also moving in a mere couple days! My girlfriend and I found a very snazzy 2 bedroom loft that will work perfect as a studio/apartment. Exciting Stuff!<br />In the meantime I wanted to get the blogging going again!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cale.ca/images/blog/Blueroom.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.cale.ca/images/blog/Blueroom.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />So here is an image I chose as a Promo send out piece for my Rep. The picture is actually part of a larger piece of art which I am still working on finishing but will definitely upload it when done!<br />I also thought I'd upload a random monkey photo from my trip (no this is not the big angry monkey I encountered, just a medium sized lazy one)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cale.ca/images/photoblog/tripuploads/monkeyclose.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.cale.ca/images/photoblog/tripuploads/monkeyclose.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Hope you enjoy! and thank you all so much for the positive comments!Cale Atkinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12009765834628272830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21235763.post-62863780709321334932008-01-22T21:08:00.000-08:002008-01-22T21:26:06.507-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cale.ca/images/blog/triptime.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://www.cale.ca/images/blog/triptime.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Hi everyone!

Unfortunately each variation would be charged as a completely new card so for now I introduce you to my Smoking Pig with a mustache card! I also including the 2nd contender, a happy bow tie Elephant.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cale.ca/images/blog/BusinessCards1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="http://www.cale.ca/images/blog/BusinessCards1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Sorry for my lack of posts in the last couple months! Since I quit my previous job to work freelance I have been uber busy with some really fun projects!

I'm not going to get into any of the "reasons" or "whys" but do feel this was the best move for me to make to continue growing and reach my aspirations and dreams. I currently have a couple exciting contract jobs on the go which will definitely make the job quiting less drastic on my finances. At the same time I plan on updating my skills, hopefully getting a animation demo reel pieced together, and further trying to get my foot in that children's illustration door. If any of you reading this have any ideas, tips or knowledge of job openings I would really appreciate hearing them! All of your comments and positive words really make my day!<br />In the meanwhile here is a picture I did with a character you may see again in another picture or two! Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cale.ca//images/blog/girlwrooster.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://www.cale.ca//images/blog/girlwrooster.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Cale Atkinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12009765834628272830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21235763.post-40882439440852434822007-09-13T12:29:00.000-07:002007-09-13T12:34:24.179-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_UBSdn1ZjXO0/RumQfci8_8I/AAAAAAAAAAo/-ZKU-WkjibE/s1600-h/elephant+momentum.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_UBSdn1ZjXO0/RumQfci8_8I/AAAAAAAAAAo/-ZKU-WkjibE/s200/elephant+momentum.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5109774122141679554" border="0" /></a><br />Hey everyone!<br />After a couple weeks being too busy to get a pic in for friday I'm happy to post one for this weeks topic "Momentum"!<br />Nothing stops an Elephant on Rollerskates! hmmm cept maybe another Elephant on Rollerskates travelling in the opposite direction...<br />Hope you enjoy!Cale Atkinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12009765834628272830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21235763.post-51566541802348118552007-07-26T13:08:00.000-07:002007-07-26T13:12:55.552-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.cale.ca/images/blog/poem1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://www.cale.ca/images/blog/poem1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Hey everyone though a little late in the week here is my pic for this week's Illustration Friday topic "Poem".
