This is really odd. I'm calling the guy collect tomorrow to do an interview for his technology article "Circuits" which I think is picked up by the Montreal Gazette as well. This is SO SCREWY. He merely left me a privy message on renderosity asking if I'd be interested. AHHHHHHH!!!! WHAT AM I GONNA WEAR FOR THE PHONE CALL?!?!?!?!? ry

nope, it was legit. He's a reporter, and reporters suck ass. He prolly found someone else, and just disregarded me. Oh well.

Sorry to hear about it dude. Was it for commercial illustration? If so you are in good company. I've heard about this kind of stuff before. Bsteph

What do you mean b7y commercial illustration? Anyways, I have no idea whatcha mean, and all I know is that guy didn't respond to my email asking what went wrong, so therefore I've concluded that he's an @$$hole. Still, I didn't lose anything, and I wouldn't have gained anything by the interview or whatever it was that didn't happen. Life will go on. What exactly did ya mean Steph? ry

Well if one wants to major in graphic arts there are many avenues. One is illustration. A commercial illustrator as I understand it generall performs illustration for various companies. As opposed to a fine arts illustrator which I suppose illustrates for a single client-person. In short a commercial illustrator would work continuiously for a company. The person I was thinking of often heard the answer of "We're not interested." Mich made them ask. "Not interested in what? An illustrator or my work?" It was frustrating for him. Bsteph
