I'm a visual effects artist by day and attempting to write and illustrate a book by night.  I create cg effects for feature films and commercials.  I ride the ferry every day to work and commute across the island and through Vancouver on my vfr800 motorcycle.  I'm actually a dual citizen of the states as well and did 4 years stationed in Italy as US Airborne Infantry before getting out and into this 3d stuff in 2000.  Father of two girls,  I'm currently trying to revise 13000 words of story and a bunch of sketches into something enjoyable to read by other people.

Check out my progress and let me know what you think: http://www.cindercast.com

Am studying at Vermont College of Fine Arts in the picture book intensive semester.  Also have a MG novel draft deep in the virtual drawer.

Am here on a work permit but have my application in for permanent residence.  Wondering what you all think about submitting to Canadian publishers that require citizenship or perm residence while waiting for mine to come through (after all, it takes 2 years to publish a PB, so I'd  have my perm residence by then   )

I assume many would hesitate to do anything that might put government subsidy money at risk.
