And you're r...Like I said in my post, no harm done. And you're right -- we did talk after I delivered the artwork. I've since changed my post in regards to that. I realized that it sounded like I was all riled up about that, which I am not. And it made you out to be the bad guy, which you were definitely not. Very sorry about that.<BR/><BR/>I do want to say publicly that I am, in no way, mad or upset over this project. There are projects that will be dropped for various reasons and I've come to terms with that. In my many years in the animation biz, heaven knows I see this every day. This project was just another one that got away, so to speak. I did learn a lot from it, mainly in the way I approach my art. I love the fact that you gave me total and complete freedom to work in my unique style for the cover and the story. For that, I am completely grateful.<BR/><BR/>So, Steve, I have no ill will towards you and what you were trying to start up with Soundtracts. I hate to see that you've dropped the project entirely, but hey -- maybe someone else could pick up the pieces. You never know. It's a great and wonderful idea, one that deserves the audience that it was trying to reach. I hope you do reconsider some day in getting it back up and running, and maybe others will be down with the cause. <BR/><BR/>It IS good to hear from you, however. Keep in touch, in the meantime. Would love to chat.Ward Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013085293679968596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1133313610610941682005-11-29T17:20:00.000-08:002005-11-29T17:20:00.000-08:00Very interesting.

Even though Safari and Flickr were able to view them, for some reason those previously mentioned browsers had problems with them. I changed the mode from CMYK to RGB, which I believe was the culprit. I had the images as CMYK for print purposes, by the way. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the compliments!
