The True Life of Applying for Internships

Posted by DeuceNine - April 28th, 2009


I understand that many of you are young aspiring artists, full of hope and potential of what you can one day become. Which is why I am here to tell you, STOP IT. Just STOP IT. This life of applying for internships and "having hopes" and "dreams" and "aspirations" aren't all the glitz and glamor you see on TV. It's a dark cruel world out there, full of Microsoft Word documents in Times New Roman font and a dash of disappointment. This has been the worst month of my life. Or maybe my birthday-bad-luck just lasted all month long and is still going. This month I applied for Nickelodeon Studios, Cartoon Network, Pixar, and Radical Axis (y'know, at least 1 of those still do animations I think). Internship deadlines were on April 17th.

Since March I've been waiting for April to end, but unfortunately it's still the 28th. I had a break on stress on the 14th, but I was foolish to think that it was over.

OH... it was far from over... what a genius plot this was...

SO I WROTE A COMIC ABOUT IT!!!

You can read it here! Or just go here http://www.pigeongrenade.com/toons/ext ras/TWGFAOH.jpg

Its a long comic, but a short read. Basically a summary of the KEY POINTS of my bad luck (not including awful housing assignment for the next year, broken toes, traffic school, etc.).

Dimensions: 720 pixels x 11848 pixels OR 7.5 inches x 123.4 inches. Aah? You hear that ladies?? Think about it. Tell your friends. I'm lonely. I wrote a damn comic.

Holy shit did I fall outta of my chair laughing when I got to the end.

Sorry about all that has happened to you bro.

Actually, writing this comic was the most fun i've had this quarter.

Fffffffffffffffffffuck. Ehm wish you luck, I think.

That has to be the cutest comic by a full of anger fellow artist I have ever seen

Well I guess in a few years this will all be a funny memory!

I really laughed at the end, the cherry on the sundae! :D

Holy crap! That was one of the damn funniest comics I have read in a LONG time! If I were a big wig, I would hire you simply on your humor! I really hope you get hired somewhere..this stuff is hilarious!

Funny thing is, bad situations make for great comedy, so at least you got that across, right?

Good luck tho :/

Might work for a submission(?)

ahahaha, that was fantastic. I mean not really, but yeah.
..=(

Man that was well made for a black and wite comic.

Hope things change for ya'.

I feel for you. I guess just keep following that dream... I mean, what else are you going to do? Work at a dead end retail job for the rest of your life, no sir, that is not the life for you, or me. Not gonna do that. Nope. Never. : (

:c
Im sorry.

Very nice. Simple yet effective, my favorite kind of website. I like the font selections. Color scheme quite similar to Swain's.

Oh, yeah, wrong window. Ignore the above comment, it was meant for another blog post.

yeah yeah yeah like totally totally yeah i see what you mean yeah totally

Dude. that comic was awesome. And your cartoons are pretty sweet as well. Don't give up.

Hey homes. How do you apply to this internship. I can't find any job opps. on CN.

Thats because "Cartoon Network" isnt much about "cartoons" it turns out. About 85% of the job opps and internships on their site is for illustrators and graphic designers.

I went through the same stuff when applying to grad-schools. It was down to the wire, and I seriously almost sent out all my Statement of Purpose letters with only one school being mentioned. I had the good fortune of proof-reading them right before I sent them, and had to make a mad rush to reprint.

Also, multimedia programs have sex with dicks. Dick on dick action. The pico day flash I've been making bombed every computer I'd try it on, and it took two very valuable weeks to figure out that a motion-guide was corrupt or some shit. I now have two days to finish it.

So all in all, this shit happens to everyone. It just depends on how much time you give yourself to correct the mistakes. Very funny comic, and I hope everything works out for you.

Ahahah, God damn. That last bit in the corner was great.

That really sucks man, but I wouldn't necessarily see it as a deal breaker. It's a really bad error, but they would probably overlook. I'd stay hopeful.

That is, that you haven't heard back from anyone?

Adorei o fim da tirinha!
"I didn't even get one!"
É a vida cara, derrota faz parte do sucesso. Como diria James McCloud: "Never give up!"

Roaaaar in Portuguese!
