My updated reel is complete! I'd greatly appreciate it if you would like and share.
Reel: LawrencePompey.com/showreel
I'm actively seeking Full-Time work (W2/Contract) as a 3D Artist and/or Motion Graphics Designer. I prefer Remote, but I'm open to Hybrid/On-Site roles in NJ/NYC.

How do mfs watch, read, or listen to the plethora of cyberpunk, dystopian, and post-apocalyptic media throughout history and see those things as suggestions rather than the warnings that they are?
(PS: Like many of my other, similar posts, this is mostly rhetorical).

The only job I've heard back from in ~7 mo seems to just be a bot that took info from my app.
I'm down to one "meal"/day and an average of 3 hrs of sleep. Lost my home and almost everything I had. This is my 2nd unemployment period since my layoff in 2023. Health is trash. Everything's fantastic.

Working with @nicholasmc1.bsky.social on this fairly unusual game was an absolute joy! re-calibrating my concept work for first person was a pretty interesting challenge as well! ( everyone else wants top down) I made Key art, concepts and a few cheeky 3D characters as well!

A few more morning pics. That campanile(?) might as well be a sculpture. I like how the triangle and cross motifs dictate everything. The roof-wall was once exposed concrete until it started cracking and leaked (😔😞). It was clad in copperplates in 1999.

I went on a winter hike with some old friends back in 2018. It was a great day.

Remember if you truly despise GenAI and its outputs you need to put a lot more time celebrating and lifting all the artists not using it and trying there best and learning. Share their art like that art and just talk about the stuff you like and enjoy. Don’t let the anger of GenAi stop that.

What do companies mean by "proficient in AI" in job applications? Isn't the point of AI that you don't need to be proficient in anything to attempt to take opportunities away from those who are?
It's not a tool, it's a service. I don't order food at a restaurant, then claim I made it. Even in part.

I just found out that Jon B. is releasing a new album soon, after all this time, with features including Tank, Donell Jones, and [my favorite modern RnB artist] Alex Isley. What a time for RnB and the culture. I've been hearing some incredible music these past few years.

This is a stylized wood planks configurator I created a couple of years ago. It was my intro to parameters in Substance 3D Designer.
The next time was a jump to my Concrete Generator, with 234 params, used together seamlessly to create virtually endless combinations from scratch with custom inputs.

These are a few of the many rendered images from an old prop modeling project of mine. I modeled it from reference photos I took of an old friend's battery charging device. (I posted the reference images in the comment below)

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one.
My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

Job boards need an option to *exclude* companies/organizations. If I see one more misleading volunteer, tutoring, reposted/promoted position with hundreds-to-thousands of applicants, or AI training position masked as something else, I'm going to lose my fucking mind.
