Very cool. As usual.

Wow, this is really cool!!!! I've really become a fan since the first time I saw your work. I've seen your website and visit it often. As a matter of fact this and your website are the only two that I even go to anymore. Please don't take this the wrong way...I have to ask...you're obviously skilled in your craft. Why did it take you so long to find a job? I mean, you should be working for like Lucas or PDI!! Keep up the good work man.
