Most supporting comment ever from my past community college art professor. "I see your still out here in Florida, darn shame but I told you so.....so don't be surprised of the outcome of it all."

- Sasha Schotzko-Harris What? You have to be kidding me. I've been marveling over the art you've posted here for days now! You're 100 faces project made you pretty much my favorite artist on this site! I don't even believe it! I really hope you try again for next year!

- Tristan Sellers Thank you everyone- I am not gonna give up on drawing- but maybe just CalArts.... I have been dreaming to make it into this college since I was 10, but with how things have been each time it flusters me - I got overlooked for the 2009 program finally got ... more

- Juston Gordon-Montgomery dude, don't stop trying--no matter what, with your persistence and dedication, and i can tell you've got a lot of it--i have no doubt you'll make it--with or without calarts.

- Tristan Sellers I wish persistence and dedication worked well in this world of chronic bad choices. :\

- Elyse Filigheri Was it when someone posts a link on facebook and facebook generates a random image to go along with that page? I think if your image appeared it was probably a just random selection from the images that were on the site's front page at the time.

- Tristan Sellers Nope- checked it 5 times, so did my friend and it remained the same.
  
  March 20, 2011
- Anna Hudzik Once it's posted, the image will not change. In the process of posting a link, FB grabs whatever images it can find. FB probably didn't grab the animated buzz logo or if it did, whoever posted the link didn't select that one. It's kind of like free prom... more

- Mike Toole What is in a name?
  
  January 29, 2011
- Tristan Sellers Well within a name can either be a meaning or simply just letters with nothing special behind it. Are you wondering how I came up with the names for these selected individuals?

Personal Details

From Bakersfield, CA or My Mom .... either or both work.....right?
Current city Jacksonville, Fl
Current employment Freelance artist and antique dealer
Job title Own Boss!
Education College
Concentration Animation D:
Employment history Nanas' Country Cupboard : 1994 - 2001 Nutri-Sport: 1998 - 2003 Both of these were family owned businesses and all pended upon location I would help out mostly with minor tasks like cleaning and organizing merchandise. 2003 - 2005 : Bicycle Courier ::: Was my own boss for this as well self-established business, suprisingly in 2004 I ended up hiring 2 people to work under me. Stopped in 2005 due to hurricane Katrina. 2006 - 2008: Assistant Manager for Candy Boquet. Helped arrange edible gift baskets later was able to do deliveries one I aquired my liscence. Business closed in 2008 thanks to a declining economy. 2009: Worked at Hobby Lobby and Mandaloun( mediterranian resturant) Both positions were forfeited due to college schedule. Curretly unemployed but making my way out to California with high hopes of attending CalArts for the 2011-2012 semester in Character Animation.
About Me Currently stuck in Jacksonville, Fl the king city for mattress stores. I am a struggling artist trapped in a depressing hole of a city filled with many who have no aspirations and just drink and do drugs all day to fulfill their lives.... so as I can say I am looking to get myself into an artistic environment..... hopefully CalArts will become the place for me to attend and further progress my artistic skill. I am a fast and efficent worker with a creative mind just stuck in an unsupportive environment.... and honestly it seems my only creative outlet is online. Mostly GaiaOnline was a home site for me for poting art under the alias of "Yasano" and that name will have popped up time to time on some of my pics. Butchea...... guess thats all for now to say.
Interests Art Fitness Tea

well I sent it in right at the new year ( Jan 1st ) - just hoping it made its way there...delt with a bad experience when I was trying for the 2009 fall semester - they didn't get my portfolio till like April ( sent it off late December ) because it was setting behind a desk in the mail room and honestly I feel they didn't even bother to look at it. ; - ;

Aye, thank you Yon.... I hope I do hear back with positive results- honestly I worry because I feel I was not able to provide enough due to my situations and lack of resources to work with in my area.

I just hope they see me atleast as a future prospect for the program. Last time I applied I got screwed over big time. ; - ;

I am really worried now- keep getting junk mail from what my moms told me. Really hoping I get accepted - really afraid I am gonna get screwed like last time. Found my portfolio was sitting behind a desk in the mail room for about 2 months after the application process at Calarts and was rejected. ; - ;
