Description of Project: Don't want to go into too much detail on it just yet, but we are looking to do some cool stuff artistically.

Position: We're looking for an art director / lead artist type situation. Someone with some serious experience who can help us define our art style, create create characters, backgrounds, environments, etc. We have some specific ideas of what we need, and want, but there will be a fair bit of freedom to this as well. At the end of the day what we need is something wicked that stands out and hooks people.

Although I don't believe I'm suited for the position as it seems to require much more experience in the area, should you need another artist as well, I've e-mailed you my portfolio.

Cheers!
