friends, classmates, people I’ve worked with:

Cayle George An ace level designer who just happens to be my brother. Check out the "Big Lolly" Half-Life mod he made for my birthday, best present ever...
Anup Lobo A jack of all trades and near master of many. Primarily plies his trade as a concept artist. He has a unique vision and sticks to it.
Darren Mortillaro Another generalist (why does that sound like a bad thing?), who's primarily worked as a compositor. Has an impressive list of films to his credit, and an acerbic wit.
Roxy Liao A born animator, great artist. Possessed of an irrepressible spirit, she brings sunshine into the often dank and stressful 3D world.
Bill Flugrath A talented programmer, stop-motion artist, and all-around cool cat.
Micah Moore 3D modeler, sometimes voice-actor, and all-around wit.
Emmett Feldman A deceptively low-key VFX whiz with a bold design sense.
Juan Rubio First met him when he came to give a talk at my school, and later had the pleasure of working with him at the Orphange. A technically saavy guy who's also easygoing and friendly, sometimes a rarity in this field.
Roan Tabasan An up-and-coming concept artist with talent. Worked with him on the T2X: Shadows of the Metal Age project.
Irfan Celik Worked with him at the Orphanage on "The Day After Tomorrow," impressive body of work.
Meats Meier Should be a familiar name. Worked with Meats at the Orphanage as well.
