On my last post, Sprite-harvester asked me what the origin of my last name was. And then it hit me:

Not many of you guys know much about me. And I was like:

WTF?!

So... I guess I could summarize myself for you all. That way you get to know me a little better!

Anyways... My full name is Adam Wayne Hockenberry. (Oh, the name originates from German and Dutch.) I have red hair and brown eyes, I'm about 5' 11'', and weigh 120 lbs after a good meal. I'll be turning 20 on january 26th. I was born in California, and when I was about two months old, my family moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Thats where my two siblings were born. I have a sister, Andrea, and a brother, Shawn. NONE OF US LOOK ALIKE. Well, when I was about 8, we moved back to California.

When my brother got old enough, we used to play fantasy games out in the backyard. Mostly Final Fantasy... Things like that, with wooden swords we made ourselves. Great times... -sigh- I have always been very imaginative... But I never had any other outlet for it. During my sophmore year, I started learning how to draw, but I didn't have much time for it, between being in plays and golf. At the later half of my junior year of high school, I started my comic, Life Crystals. Thats when I started drawing a lot. I had written over 400 pages in half a semester. However, I didn't draw very much during senior year... Thats when I started learning how to make games with a program called GameMaker. All throughout high school, I could never make up my mind what I wanted to be when I got older... A game designer, a graphic designer, a vet... I just didn't know what would make me happy.

Then college started. I picked drawing back up and noticed my skills had GREATLY improved over the year I DIDN'T draw. During one of my breaks in between semesters, I was finally hit with my future career: I wanted to be a chef. No joke. I LOVE cooking. It makes me happy. I'm a guy who likes working with his hands, and creating food almost like art. Plus, other people enjoy the product of my work, which is what I strive for in almost EVERYTHING I do.

I only recently started being active on Newgrounds, and thats where I met Joseph. Then, things spiralled from there. And this is where we are now.

Sorry it was such a long post. If you have any questions, post them. Now, off to work with me! Zing!

If I find the fucking troll who keeps voting 0 on all my work, I'll rip out your eyes, nerves still attached, turn them around and show you your horrid, disgusting face. Then I'll rip out your entrails and skip rope with them.
