I'd love to be able to do it, but my Graphic Design skills are a little rusty.
Though it is what I have my degree in, It is currently more a hobby than a career. I'd LOVE to advance my abilities, but with a full time job, finding the time to work on it is difficult.
I may send some samples nevertheless, but I'm better with fonts, and lettering than actual character/art design.
I did the lettering in my avatar, matching type, font and size as best I could.
It's open as long as we continue to get new business!
But we are not rushing through people - we have deadlines
to meet, so people are being contacted slowly. We want
to try people out, see how their temperment works with
ours, and build a stable of professionals.
Like a lot of creative, it's hurry up and wait. We may
be waiting weeks for feedback from the client, then have
to make changes fast.
I'm sure this is suddenly drawing a lot of us who have been skulking around in the background out into the light. And just like everyone else here, I'm really interested in this... even though I wasn't prepared for this opportunity. I can't speak for anyone else, but I only have a bunch of older images of my work right now... from back before my camera crapped out on me. But, I suppose old pics are better than none.
I'm a professional Graphic Designer (20+ years experience) and have worked with licensed products for Disney, Jim Henson etc. I've been a Mego collector for years, and would LOVE a chance to contribute to package design and or any advertising!!
The projects we need people for are 2010, so we still have some time.
We are still looking through submissions and will privately contact people
to discuss details. No details will be posted publicly. The most important
need is for confidentiality - anyone working with us has to be able to keep
absolutely quiet - without exception.
Dave McCormick is a perfect example. He didn't even tell Brian about
working on DC Superheroes. If you don't think you can do that, tell me
now, before we end up in a lawsuit.
You can also count on me Paul,..My work in painting detailed faces on Mego type figures is well known,..check my link,..on the top where a Capt. America head is shown The King of the Super Queens pictures by MaRaMa-TSG - Photobucket
,,,.I did this,..if more pics needed of my work,..let me know Paul.
People who can paint REALLY TINY satin finish detailing are always welcome,
as are people who can sew.
If we could, we would just clone Dave McCormick half a dozen times.
He has the sewing and painting skills - and more importantly - the ability
to respond in a crisis.
I have some painting skills, can't sculpt a lick. I'll try to post some pictures of the Tudor football figures I paint, and maybe you can give me some feedback as to wheather or not I could be useful.
I am definitely NOT one of those folks who profess to have no talent, but I'm unfortunately unable to show anything right at the moment. Either way, I'd just like to say that I think this whole thread and the opportunity proposed by the wizards at EMCE is absolutely extraordinary and I can't wait to see what springs from the creative seeds planted here. Is there a more involved, spirited, talented and just plain enthusiastic group anywhere in the world or on the Internet than the wonderful folks at the Mego Museum? Kudos to you, one and all.
Well we all know that there is absolutely NO talent to be found here like THAT. Kidding!
There is a considerable amount of individuals here that I believe are very talented. Me, myself unfortunately is not one of them. I think that it is a superior idea by the Doc to hire within if you will. IF I did consider myself talented enough which I do not I would have taken a shot at the offer even though I do not really need or want a job per say. It would really be neat to do something positive for the Mego/EMCE community.
Had I considered myself talented enough and looking if I were looking to join the work force I would have definitely taken a shot at the offer. I like being retired and love my freedom too much. I only wish that I had very talented skills like Black Knight and a lot of other names I will not even start to list here. I believe that there is a lot of good people here with some really great skills that will be able to bring a lot to the table. I am anxious to see what becomes of this in the future. I will definitely be buying the new figures once they do show up. That is the one thing that I am really good at as it pertains to the market place. Good luck to all that has entered. This was an excellent idea as well as a fantastic opportunity.
If you need someone to step up and take one for the team i'll do it. Go ahead and put my name down for those who get to test out the prototypes...um please put my name down.
Man i would love that job right there.
