so I just wanted to take the time to put up an introduction of sorts I guess

I'm Mike Kidwell, I'm currently 17 (turning 18 on October 5th) and I'm starting my senior year of high school next week..joy. I am currently going to Eastland Career Center in Ohio for Interactive Media. Interactive Media is paper work, music, flash animations, movies, basically anything you can really think of that has to do with media.

My familly consists of my mother; Laurie , a step father; Jamie, a 16 year old sister; Cortnie, a 15 year old brother; Tim, a 4 year old sister; Cade, a 8 year old dog; Brutus (we share the same birthday) and a 1 and a half year old dog; Siff. We are living in a house we've lived in for about a year now.

After High School I want to go to The Art Institute of Pittsburgh for Game art and Design. I have had the goal of being a game designer since about 9 years ago and I have done my best to reach said goal by doing research and attempting to learn how to put together a game.

I have also pursued my art as a means to get to my main goal as well as a passion. I love my art tho it may not be good by some standards it is always improving by mine and I am proud of that. I mostly do hand drawings on printer paper using mech pencils but I have painted a picture or two that are good.

I play Gaia online which may not come be a surprise to some of you and on Gaia I go by Iaruk. so if you want to talk to me go ahead and send me a message . I also play world of warcraft and as of this post have a 75 Undead rogue on whisperwind named cryllio, so if your ever on and I'm on go ahead and send me a message there as well .

I am currently looking for some-one to help me learn how to color my pictures in photoshop (once I get my laptop fixed) so if you can help me please tell me

I know what some of you are thinking " Aren't you a little young?" well.. that may be in some peoples eyes but I know what I want..and I know what my heart wants so I went for it. She lives in California which..again is somthing alot of people will be like wha? since I live in Ohio but again I know what I want. welp..I guess this is it for now..I will try to upload some of this years works as soon as I can
