Australian Chapter - who's from Australia?

#157

Hi Jason!

Is that Frankston, Melbourne?:smiley:

#158

Yes that’s the one! The town that everybody makes fun of because of it’s seedy reputation, though it’s not that bad:)
Notice you are also from Melbourne too, great to see other CG artists in Melbourne!

#159

Frankston’s not so bad. It just takes a little while to get to. :slight_smile:
We run a cgtalk sketchgroup every Sunday in the city if you’re interested:

Hi folks,

Just wanted to say hi to my fellow Aussies. Great to see a good number of folk from Melbourne in the forums. I’ve been a local of Melbourne for about 5 years now, having moved down here to pursue a career and forsaking the sunny beaches of Newcastle.
Hey Erilaz, that sketch group sounds interesting. i might have to check it out some time!

What kind of industries does evryone work in down here? I work as a concept artist/toy designer for a local based toy company.

G’day Redfrog,
Good to see someone else from Melbourne here. I don’t work in the industry at all worse luck:sad:
i’m just a hobbyist at the moment. But i’m hoping that will change once I get a lot better. I’d love to do architectural interiors and product design. I’ll leave animating to the pros.
At the moment i’m working in a warehouse as a storeman (wish I was working as a CG artist instead)
