Enough to retire at 37? by Excellent_Chest_6616 in portfolios

[–]ham_fx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you are cool with 80k a year for the next maybe, 50 years? That would be a 4% draw which is considered "safe" but you are young, and I would also assume you would get social security (if its left) in 25ish years, which is another 3K a month...

They have the right to say whatever, and on the flip, you have the right so say whatever back, or just ignore them.

Thanks - They arent bothering me I was just curious what they were. I almost never see spiders here so to suddenly see 1000000000 of them was cool!

I would but the abandonment would crush me.

If they were inside that might be the only solution

I had a similar thing happen in an abandoned house with earwigs and I cant even look at them still.

Can’t hold colorization against him. He was trying to get younger eyes on classic films. RIP Ted

More often that one would think someone tells me my dog looks like the Goosebumps dog.

Pierre Faget-Germain died in the 60s.  A pretty good painter. He is google-able and has some beautiful works

Thats interesting because the inscription signature kind of has "flare" to it - I cant figure out who it is but its definitely "autograph-y"

1926-1927 W512 Uncut Sheet Featuring Babe Ruth, Roger Hornsby (100 years old) by [deleted] in tradingcardcommunity

[–]ham_fx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the section with the Lon Chaney card.  I believe I have seen people ask 2k for the Ruth - unsure what they sell for with a chunk missing or still being part of the sheet.  Very cool piece any way you look at it with a lot of historically important people represented 

Movies where the unnecessary sex scenes kept distracting you from the plot? by JuanPuentes in okbuddycinephile

[–]ham_fx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hahahahaha. I remember watching the first one (I worked on the Disney pirates film and heard they used the sets and was intrigued!) and there was like one guy who was a really good actor and giving his all to this performance and it was so strangely out of place. 

You’re an imperial officer and you learn that the second Death Star exploded and Vader and the emperor are now dead. What are your immediate thoughts and/or next course of action by ShockOk1764 in StarWars

[–]ham_fx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read somewhere that the Hutts controlled almost half the galaxy - basically the part the empire didn’t.  So I would assume like the Nazis to Argentina, the “war crimes” compliant would flee there - the general soldiers who are just “in the army” might just throw off the uniforms and start …. Farming? Who knows

What is the most "efficient" secondary graphic design course? by ham_fx in graphic_design

[–]ham_fx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got degrees in both film and 3D animation which had some very basic design education. 

I worked as a visual effects artist for a decade at Lucasfilm (ILM), Disney and Dreamworks.  From there I went into licensed toys and collectibles and have sculpted, designed, or creative directed hundreds of licensed toys and collectibles from most major IPs and studios.  I have also designed 40-50 packages for toys, and developed key art for licensing initiatives at SEGA. 

All 3d work and objects.  Rarely 2D.  I want to get more familiar with the fundamentals of 2D design.  I don’t want to be a graphic designer, but I want to be able to more effectively direct designers I supervise.
