Twas the night before Comic Con

And I am nervous as fuck.

You see, I read a few weeks ago on one of my favorite web sites that Marvel is going to be reviewing porfolios for possible work in their Creative Services Department, which is one of my dream jobs. So I've been working hard (or hardly working on it depending on who you talk to) for about a week now. Yeah I know, I should have spent more time working on the portfolio before a few days before the Comic Con, but I am a procastinator at times.

Anyway, I am really, really, really nervous, but I know this kinda of nervous because I experienced it during the summer when I went to the other convention Wizard World Philly for the Wildstorm Art Contest. So the same butterflies are in my stomach. They've subsided for now, since I have eaten and I am calmer now.

So now, on the eve of the Comic Con, actually, the Comic Con started tonight, but I am for the rest of the weekend - I am putting together what I think is the best of my work. Well some of it. I had to create most of it, because my portfolio wasn't versatile enough. I had nothing, but bank related stuff and I was stuck in a rut on what I should have in there. So I created a few Marvel oriented pieces and few generational ads as well as some of my best stuff from the bank (i.e. newsletters, postcards, brochures, statement inserts, etc.)

In a few mintues I am going to put my portfolio together and start reviewing talking points and getting my resume together and such. I am taking this a little bit easier now, since I am treating this like a job interview and not the unicorn job I've been searching a few years for. This is another huge moment for me. I need a job badly and I would really love this one. So please, wish me luck.
