My name is Rudette Lariza Baldonado.
In case some of you are wondering where the name "Rudette" came from, it is a fusion of both my mother and father's first names put together. I guess it's there way of being creative.
Born and raised in Seattle, but went through most of my adolescent years in "Kenton" (bordering area between Renton and Kent). On my free time, I design and illustrate -- my passions, and temporary escape from the everyday drudgery. I'm in the process in going back to my roots. Playing with traditional mediums other than the use of digital aid. Yes, I want to get messy and my hands dirty again.
I used to freelance, but jobs are scarce and I'm tired of waiting for the next pitch. So now, I choose to focus on getting my degree and license as a Pharmacy Technician. Wow, a major "career" move. I'm thinking about the long-run when it comes to financial stability for me and my (future) little family.
By the way, I'm laying down in my photo. My hair does not naturally flip up like that, but wouldn't it be cool if it did? I'm also not a mean-looking person; I'm really nice. The bright afternoon sun was just blinding me. That's all.
