I'm back! I've been hard at work since January but it took time to get into the swing of things after taking a year off because... reasons.

I loved the reach outs and the messages asking if I was okay. Thank you so much!!

Where have I been?

I took my business apart, sold the assets that gave Bluebird equity and then rebuilt and rebranded as: Blackbeard Media.

Last year was a lot of fun in the outside sales world and living on commission was no different than being a full-time PA here. Having a boss for the first time in years was tricky. I'm not used to being told what to do or when to do it. Overall it was a worthwhile experience and provided the creative refresh I really needed. I met some awesome Central New York locals because of it.

No worries: I'm headed back to YouTube and Instagram. I shut Facebook and Twitter down (I'm way too political to not be a complete dick on those mediums) so if you want to connect, let's stick with the visual mediums. This is 3d Art, after all! I'll letcha know when the handles are ready for friending.

So what did I miss last year? What's your favorite render? Have you learned any new skills just for fun?

    Welcome back. I loved all your other products you had under bluebird. so I am sure I will love all the new content you create. i really like the looks of your sci fi  collection  will you be doing any more Asian themed sets?

    The last product I bought from you was your martial arts dojo.  which i have used a few times in a animated series .

    So I want welcome you back and i look forward to your new releases.

    Forgive me for my uninvited constructive critism.I found your youtube channel refreshing and honest despite the multiple excuses/apologies. You can't let others expectations and their timelines demand content from you. If you are brave enough to try a similar channel on Youtube again, under promise and over deliver. Tell people you're busy and when you can share - you will. Don't let others dictate your schedule. Do what you want when you want and set those terms upfront. I found your persona on Bluebird/Youtube  magnetic. Your personality shone thru as a strong asset. I think you overthought the process and may have felt overwhelmed by 'expectations'. I really think your personality and attitude would do really well on youtube if you did at your pace. Great content every now is far better than junk every week or god forbid every other day. Be brave. Tell people, "I'm busy, I can't commit to a set schedule but subscribe and you'll get a notification when I post". The Youtube world is far larger than Daz Stusio members and the world could be your oyster.

    Edit: And by the way I did hire a PA who delivered and did not ignore me so I found that video to be a tad off.

    Thanks for the effort and the feedback. That was very brave and I appreciate it. You got me thinking!

    I'd love to if I can dress the environment with a story. Otherwise Asian themed environments can be a little light on the selling side. I'm not sure why but they never really do that well. I'm open to it if I can present an environment that has actual character and a solid reason for being what it is. That SciFi set was fun because while it may not be everyone's cuppa, it had its own identity. Does that make sense?

    I loved Mr. Woo and Mrs. Chow and got both pro sets because I think they were incredibly well done. Looking forward to more like them. Character creators are awesome.

    Don't know how I missed this ...Welcome back!  Love your products, the tutorials that you did, and missed your you tube channel alot it was very refreshing and informative.  Can't wait to see what you will do next.

    I missed this too. Glad you're back. I immediately (I think) noticed your absence, but I don't use Facebook; so, I didn't know how to get info once your YouTube disappeared. I wish the old Bluebird3D now Daz Originals were still tagged under your name so that I could reference them more quickly.
