    Hahahahahahaha!



    Damn, that's funny. I get it! I get it!



    I don't get it.



    Anyway, I was the manager of the celebrated "BRussell Quintet" until the European tour of 1998. If you followed the story you'll understand why I don't work with them any more.

    I used to build a lot of model cars and remember seeing that word a lot.



    So are you saying you study models (the plastic or the fleshy curvy kind)?



    Am I on the right track?

    A) Design Monkey. Work full-time at advertising/design firm doing web/print. Do the odd freelance job for friends/family as well. Although my degree actually has the word "illustration" in it I rarely seem to do that anymore.



    B) Adjunct Instructor. Recently took a evening teaching job for a Web Animation (ie Flash) for Illustrators class at local expensive art institute.

    I wasn't going to let myself get sucked into this one but you just kept on about it billybobsky to the point where I could no longer resist. It was a good one! Hard! (maquettologist isn't in Google). I was almost going to give up. But I think I may have it.



    Purely synthetic peptide structures with protein flexibility that is tailored at the molecular level to accomplish as wide a variety of chemical, mechanical and electrical functions as displayed by natural proteins, but with a simplicity and robustness uncharacteristic of living matter.



    Whatever that means. And damn you.

    Artist/media tech consultant/designer. I work with museums, gallerys and artists to get their media stuff under control, when I'm not making installations.



    Hey, Pfflam, do you ever show in the Bay Area?

    I used to when I wasn't a media artist and was a painter

    but I know quite a few artists there

    I lived in SF for quite a few years

    and I used to show and curate shows at the now some-what famous Ado-be Bookshop (in fact, I kind-of started regular decent art showings there) . . .



    but I left in the early 90s



    While i lived there I worked at said Bookshop and also at La Boheme on 24th and mission (before the .com boom gentrified the Mission) . . . all my friends were artists of some stripe or another , . . . you know, its the Bay Area fercrissakes!!! But it was under the radar and very very indulgent bohemian etc etc



    I went back after grad-school and was dissapointed to find so many of the people that I knew that were artists were still crawling around in some youth-culture-proto-post-punk-bohemia-anti-work attitude . . . it was kind of depressing because ALL OF SF felt that way then . . .

    It has since changed and several friends are very successful . . .so who knows

    anyway . . . what's yer story?

    drew, you know you get a nice hefty portion of AI's advertising banners by virtue of being the oldest registered member. The second oldest member is gunning for you and that pension, though, so you better watch out. (and we all know you knocked off JRC to get the esteemed position)
