KRUG

so anybody who really knows me (or knows me even at all) knows that i like creative things.  i usually express that by creating what i call weird art.  this includes my text pictures, ambigrams, warhammer, and styrofoam scenery.  after watching the making of the lord of the rings i realized what my dream job would be.  to make miniature, scale models.  i never pursued it as a career because i didn’t think it was something i could actually do for a living.  i know that there are people who do but i thought they were all from art academies and i knew i couldn’t go that route.

the other day my brother in law mentioned that i should at least look into it.  so i did.  i did a little bit of research and found a company in the local area that builds scale models and training equipment for various clients.  i went to their website and got extremely interested in checking it out.

i wound up calling them on this past monday and played phone tag with a guy named greg until today.  i finally got to talk with him on the phone and told him all about what i do as a hobby and what i am good at already.  he seemed really intrigued and mentioned that the modeling department is a really hard position to fill because you can’t exactly recruit people out of college.

and that was pretty much where the conversation ended.  i sent him my contact information with a brief synopsis of my strengths and i expect to hear from him soon.  i imagine that i’ll at least get to go over to the shop and talk with some people.

i’m really excited about this though.  i’m trying not to get too thrilled in case it doesn’t work out but this would be awesome!
