Artist | Hobbyist | Varied

Canada

I work in the radio industry as a Producer and a Board/Video Operator for 570 News (and sometimes an hour here and there for CHYM FM), and volunteer in the television industry as a cameraperson. I love the media industry but for those looking to pursue a career in it, I can easily say: "It's not for everyone and it's VERY hard to get into. You have to know the right people, have the right experience/education, and definitely put hard work into it."

People often ask me why I haven't pursued a more artistic career, to which I respond with: "Art is a hobby, and only I can persuade myself to do it." Even though I take the odd commission, it's not enough to get by on. I also love to write fiction, but again, it's just a hobby.

(My OC [Original Character] and one of my alter egos) - The story behind the name "Dragonora" or "Nora": I've been working on a screenplay/novel idea ever since I was 11 years old that has evolved into a personal motivation for me to get into the media industry. In a very brief synopsis, the trilogy of novels are based upon the reality that mythical creatures once thrived and have evolved through the ages to fit in with mankind. But as technology and human capabilities have expanded, some 'mythics' desperately want to see the end of humanity. In this desperation, a legendary yet psychotic dragon is revived to see to the destruction of mankind and all evidence of its existence.
