NEWS AND NEXT STEPS

Greetings and Welcome once again to the deepest realm of the RCP!

Well, it's been a long road my friends but I have finally completed college. Five years to get a four year degree isn't that bad in hindsight... Right? It was a lot of fun and a great learning experience, but the corner has been turned, and it's time to focus on the road ahead! (Insert lame life analogy here) My immediate concern is my freelance work (more details on that later), but my first order of business is to finally begin production of Diggers. Though my new post-graduation life is still settling, what with a new job and soon to be new apartment, you can still expect updates on the reg. But what kind of person would I be if I didn't leave you with some fuel for your mental tank until then:







These development boards represent some of the "final" Diggers concepts. I'm going to have to save the best for later but you'll see it all weave together soon enough, I promise.

MEET ME IN THE BOTTOM: Releasing soon!

Greetings and salutations, fellow freedom likers!

Got some big news! Well depends on how you look at it, it could be small news... but just work with me here.

Something like eight months ago Brian Bear and I started working on a project with Shawn Utsey, head of the African Amercian Studies department at VCU, called "Meet Me in the Bottom". MMB as I have affectionately dubbed it, is a documentary that chronicles the ongoing efforts of concerned Richmond citizens to create awareness and obtain rights to excavate a slave burial ground that lies beneath a parking lot currently owned by VCU. The film has already won awards at the Virginia independent Film Festival, including Best Documentary and Audience Choice Award. Brian and I contributed effects, illustrations, and design to the film. It was a good project that I was very glad to be a part of, so I'm excited to say "Meet Me in the Bottom" will be making it's debut on DVD very soon! I'll update again with where it will be available when it's officially released, so keep a look out!
