Everything is going well, USM is ultra busy, I got moved up to In-house board artist on Monday! I'm also doing some comic stuff on the side, which is fun, although I haven't had much time for it lately. What are you up to next? I heard everybody's hiring right now, especially Nick....

Justin,
congrats on the promotion dude. I just emailed leanne about the possibility of getting in as a revisonist, but she said they were all set. My portfolio is at all the studios, but no biters.

I had it on my desktop and in my usr folder on SHS--also i think Tom perkins had it in his folder--can you look for this for me? it's a great reference for char design--anyway--see if you can find it, if you have time--love to see the comics-thanks

Yeah, I know the book. I have it in my crew folder. How do you want me to get it to you? It's kinda big, else I'd just email it to you...
yeah, I was talking about any of the movies that you'd worked on. Also, I heard that Ninja Turtles was hiring guys up the wazzoo! Might wanna look into that.
Good luck bro, I know times are rough right now....

Justin
it's in 3 parts right? if it's under 100 mb per pdf, you can sendit via yousendit
to
ffasylum@aol.com
if it's bigger than 100 mb maybe you can drop it on a disc, or I can give you my ftp address.
My portfolio went thru TMNT and i think theyre prepping a test or something. The hero Factory: 2012 will be out in 2012, hero factory 2011 (titles tba) will run on cartoon Network or Nick and then be on dvd later in the year. hopefully they'll do more- they're more like 22 min tv specials.
thanks man--talk soon
