Re: For the artists: RIP

I'm with Ken.  I like both hand-done art and the cgi stuff.
Though each has its pros and cons, there is plenty of room for both.
Almost all the problems I've seen with commercial cgi work are related to 
available manhours and deadlines.  The artists themselves could not be more 
cooperative.

The same holds for the hand-done artists I've worked with.  John Sibbick, 
John Conway, and (I hope to someday have the opportunity to work with) Dan 
Varner, among others.

Among animatronics/sculpture folks, Hall Train is awe inspiring.  So are 
Greg Paul and John Conway.  And Wann Langston, Jr. does clay sculptures with 
so much personality that you expect them to start moving their eyes around.
