Oct. 2003 -- Became a graphic designer (who's actually PAID to be one and everything!), sticking with it for my resume's sake
Feb. 2004 -- Was offered my first actual wall-space in an actual art gallery in actual Georgetown for these pieces
I anticipate the completion of "Raymund & Maynurd's" debut album sometime in March 2004, at which time, I will begin a little work for each of the other groups...
And depending on how smoothly I pull it all together, I will continue producing these four imaginary groups under the Qrissy label.
But assuming Qrissy.Com does not make me rich & famous, I plan on earning my Bachelor's in some sort of Media Production, possibly along with a Business degree.
Then I hope to study @ NYU or Columbia (or any Master's school in loverly New York City).
If my soul is not thoroughly devoted to NYC by the time I earn my Master's, I would like to live in LA for @ least a year, & then eventually return to Seattle, where I will continue my career as a Producer.
I would love to teach private Music and/or Art lessons in Seattle when I'm old, crotchety & retired from the big wig media biz.
