Moving to SoCal !, R.N.S. Options

[Lukasss]

Well guys, Ive decided to hit the road and head for South California.

Long beach, to be more specific.

Talked to a couple people local on Zilvia and a few buddies out there as well.

Going to attend LBCC ( LAC ) for the time being, until i can decide what art school i want to try and attend out there.

Ive never actually been to California before, so its going to be quite the change.


I figured theres a good amount of people from Cali in general, so anything you want to share please feel free.

Ie; public transportation, places or people to steer clear of, good places to eat or visit, anything about colleges, etc etc etc

Looking forward to it!

Haha, i hear you dude.

Im actually after an AA in illustration, BA in Scientific illustration, and my MA in Medical Illustration.
I want to get into publishing work in medical journals, magazines, books, etc, on doctors new surgery techniques and discoveries in medicine and the human body. They basically hire me to explain in a visual manner.
Computer design for this is growing, however in this realm you are nothing without traditional style and extreme realism. Shit literally has to be perfect.
and my fascination with human anatomy and art and my niche for drawing has lead me to one hell of a career path as you can see haha.

Also, i would like to design new era prosthetics such as a muscle that can articulate itself like a natural muscle could, vs replacing the limb with a 'fake' and non functional limb. Its sort of looking into the future as that profession is hardly around, but im sure it will be by the time i get my Masters. lol


Ive heard the Art institute is great though!
I really am not the sort of clutter city person that LA employers, i have no desire to live there.
I know LB is packed enough lol

Ivans trying to get me to go to SB lol

Im sure ill be all over the place, maybe ill even move to north california after a couple months here.
All i know is ill be visiting fuckin everyyyywhere when im there haha.
