The Otherground
Hello!
My name is Brien. I am a Graphic Designer and Illustrator, living, working, and traveling out of my 1984 Volkswagen Van named Nathan.
I'm the Lead Graphic Designer and Associate Art Director for the creative team at The Imagination House in Orlando, Florida. Before this, I was a student studying Animation and VFX at the Digital Animation and Visual Effects School. Shortly after graduating, I moved to Burbank, CA working as a Depth Artist at Stereo D, converting major motion pictures to 3D. Fast forward, I shelved my 3D frames, attempted to longboard across the country, and found myself back in the sunshine state doing what I love - designing, illustrating, and creating.
Between my girlfriend Daniella and I, we have started an online blog documenting our vanlife journey. We call ourselves, "The Otherground". The plan is to travel the country, maintaining our simple lifestyle by ditching the full-time grind and converting to freelance artists, designers, and photographers. We think traveling is the best way to stay inspired and keep the creative juices flowing, and we're excited to finally get started! The goal is to set off early next year, 2019, once the van is completely self-sustainable.
If you'd like to watch our adventures, follow us here, or head over to Instagram and search "theotherground". We'll be posting plenty of our artwork, photos, and vanlife stuff regularly on both platforms.

Hi @mrgodby. Welcome to Steemit community!!!
Welcome to Steemit mrgodby. Let me know if you got any questions about Steem or anything related to it! The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. We also have DTube - our very own Youtube, DSound for Soundcloud and Steepshot if you prefer Instagram like experience. I'd also like to mention ChainBB - forums, Busy - Steemit with more modern look basically, DMania for memes and Dlive for streaming just like in Twitch! You can also earn Steem by gaming now! Search for Steemgar if that's more your thing. Welcome to the blockchain! :)
You are an inspiration to all the digital nomads out there! And after seeing your work on Steem Monsters I can see why you can afford to travel around and work at the same time because real talent deserves to be seen everywhere :) You've definitely got a lot of new fans now and I am looking forward to your contributions to this community!
Wow, thanks so much for the kind words! That means a lot to me. This is an exciting platform. I'll try to contribute as much as I can!
You'll find that the people who just get in there and do stuff enjoy the experience much more than those that are in this to make a quick buck :D But you've definitely come in at the right time when Steem Monsters is starting to take off, and your artwork is awesome so I am sure many people will know about your work very soon!
So cool @mrgodby! I am looking to one day purchase a bus and live out of it after turning it into my mobile work/command center. Then it's off to adventures on the road. Good luck on your van life journey and welcome to Steemit!
Thanks @brainpod! Love to hear other people converting over to van life! Would love to see your rig once you get around to buying one!
