Hi all!
Say, I watched your neat-o spot over at coldhardflash.com and was overjoyed to see that you’re looking for an animator!
I’m the wrist over at splatdigital.com…checkout the website! That’s where my spots are located, too.
I believe I may have talked with you a few years back.
I’m looking for a fulltime gig, so I’ll email a resume and attach a portfolio as well!
I hope to here from you soon!
Best Regards,
Dave Peterson

I hope you enjoy my work! I’ve worked for 9 years doing cartoons, but they don’t get seen by the public much. I’d love to have the chance for some more exposure.
I found your site when Cold Hard Flash posted your holiday card. Wonderful!
