  9. Damn man, you never seize to amaze and or inspire me.
    These are great, I think some poses work a better than others (If i'm being honest (but I'm unemployed and a college dropout so what do i know?), but just incredible work.

    I was at Nick the other, and met Ray, big guy, I think he worked with you boarding on Danny Phantom, he was really nice.

    Also, I re-worked my Foster's character test, did a second pass, I posted it on my blog if, if you have a sec I'd love to know what you think.
