Another Tom B. sighting

Wed Sep 28, 2011, 10:39 AM
I will be in Virginia Beach, VA this weekend (my lovely wife gets to come too).  I will be a part of the Christian Broadcasting Network's 50th Anniversary celebration that is going on on Saturday.  (I am the character designer/art director for the "Superbook" series they are producing .  I will be presenting the show and doing some drawing for the audience.)  I know its a long shot that any of you are going to be there, but I thought I'd throw it out there just in case.  I'd love to meet some fellow DA artists!  

A few weeks ago it was Kenosha, WI, now Virginia and later on its Costa Rica!  I only do the obscure conventions and events, huh?

  • Listening to: pandora
  • Reading: Invincible
  • Watching: Modern Family
  • Playing: by writing this journal
  • Eating: too, too much.
  • Drinking: afternoon coffee

I didn't know it was you that was the character designer and art director for the Superbook series! I thought it was just a pilot episode or something? Well, at least this clears up why I got beat out, lol!! I "interviewed" w/John back in the summer of 2008 for a character design position for Superbook. Our meeting started as a portfolio review but turned into a job offer for background design. I accepted the offer but I was still in school full time so John had to pass and moved on to other very talented artists. I wanted character design but again, I can see why that position was already filled, lol!!!! All this time I was thinking, "Man. WHO got that position?!!" Could've just looked it up online somewhere I guess or been more thorough rooting around here on your DA page or what have you? But in the end finding out this way was more fun for some reason, lol!!!

I heard they were trying to remake that old cartoon. Last I heard they had to raise a million bucks per episode...

I don't know what it is per Episode, but its not that much. They are putting a lot into it though, and that's a good thing!

I just remember hearing 1 million when they were taking about raising money for it on 700 club. Maybe he meant they needed that much for a seasons worth. I must have remembered wrong.
I did get to see some clips of it. It looks really good. :thumbsup:

Good grief, I think we had a VHS of it way back when. :lol: I recall watching Flying House more (.......and to be honest, I still do whenever I can find the cassette and the VCR for a whole. :D).
