Straightforward, honest, and easy to work with. I can't say the same for many of my past employers and/or commissions, and it's refreshing to work for a place where all you have to worry about are your deadlines, rather than your deadlines, whether you're going to get paid this month, whether you're going to have your commission yanked out from under you at the last minute, and all the rest of the standard bullshit that comes with being a freelance artist these days. I'd also like to say that, if you had no idea that DJ is working for Platinum by now, you should probably get out more often. ;) I’d like to say that Dan’s a hell of a guy to work for.

It's pretty clear that I work with them in the links from here. Anyway, glad this was resolved. Should take note of what? It’s pretty clear that I work with them in the links from here.

That little bit of openness makes a huge difference when reading posts in these types of situations. DJ Coffman should take note. I want to thank Dan Forcey for mentioning that he works for Platinum.

Heidi IS a professional and her criticism of us in the past has always been fair. (A little harsh, maybe, but fair. :-)) It was inappropriate and unprofessional of ME to attack her integrity and I wanted to publicly say I'm sorry.

But I feel like it's the kind of thing that happens too often. Case in point there is still no credit for the guys who colored or lettered the comic pages. At any rate I'm glad that people seem to be responding well to the material. And if Heidi's post encourages people to talk about things like work for hire contracts and giving credit to artists like Luke Weber, Scott Brown and Stu Chaifetz--it's probably a good thing in the long run!
