Well I must say that getting this small interview together with Brian was a pleasure to do! I found him very warm and friendly and he assisted me in any way he could to make it go as smooth as possible!

A truly genuine guy as well as a fantastic artist! So any ways guys - here is where you can bombared him with any questions that you may have and I know (with time permitting) he will do his best to answer user added image

Thanks Brian

EagleKing, you are hilarious! Acutally, Kev wanted a photo, so my (wonderful) girlfriend took a picture really quick after I took her home the other night, so I was still outside when she took the picture.

not much right now, I am living paycheck to paycheck, still looking for a good modeling job user added image

alot of money would be nice, but its not really about the money. There isn't much jobs here In St. Louis, and they don't pay as well as some other places.. But its a start, and I love CG!! I am refining my demoreel and stuff, and I haven't sent it out yet. I really hope I can find a good job when my demo is done. Thanks,
Brian
