Well, I've been in Vancouver for almost two weeks now. In that time, I've managed to find a great apartment and started an awesome new job!
That's right, my first animation job at a professional studio. Wahoo!
What a breath of fresh air it is to go into your job and actually love to be there, love what you're doing. I'm animating every day (for the first time in my career) and I feel great about it.
I'm still shaking off a bit of animation rust but things are really going well. I had my first two scenes approved yesterday and another two approved today.
The show is called Jibber Jabber and will air on YTV this September.
It has a bit of a Jimmy Neutron feel to it but the lighting and rendering is(IMHO) some of the best I've seen for a TV production.
I'm working with some very talented animators and my supervisor really knows his stuff. I feel like I am going to improve greatly while working on this production.
Vancouver is great too. The locals are complaining about the weather as it is unseasonal for this area but I must say, it's the mildest winter I have ever experienced. Anywhere from 8 degrees to minus 7. Not too shabby for Canada, eh?
I am really looking forward to being a short 2.5 hour drive to Seattle and a mere 4.5 hours to the Gorge Amphitheater! DMB 2007 - Yippee!
And to top it all off - The 2010 Winter Olympics! Go Canada!

Hey Art,
I was just about to email you after seeing that you were in Vancouver on your CGTalk profile.
Sounds like you're enjoying it!
Congrats at the gig at NWFX, I just started work in October at Bardel here in town. You'll probably run into more than a few people from our studio over there ;)
Great to see another AMTC vet breaking in, we should keep in touch.

Yo Nate! For sure man! Let's get together for a brew!
Ya, we have a few Bardel alumni at NWFX. Good to be in a city with lots of animation opportunities.
