What's up with you C_I ? Any grudge against 'em? I for one am pretty happy that they post here too and when I got some real reference to show (off with) I hope they will still offer jobs in pixel forums...

Then maybe you should move to New York...there are relatively few positions with professional companies that wil allow you to work remotely, so if you want to be a professional pixel artist, you'll most likely have to move somewhere.
