Wow....(Amazing Email)

A little backstory, I've been doing a graphic novel for a friend to help promote a film idea he's trying to get funding for...just yesterday he managed to arrange a visit with Richard Taylor (Head of Weta FX in Wellington) and showed him some of my art work. Apparently he thought it was "exquisite, wonderful, fantastic and a sign of great talent. It was incredibly refreshing to see an artist who has such a strong eye for character, face and world design. Beautiful beautiful work."

I'm still buzzing

Be sly about it, though. Don't come out and tell him you want a job with him, but mention that you are looking for a job in that industry and does he know of any positions that are open/people to contact?

It may land you a job w/ him, it may land you a job w/ someone else, but you'd have HIS WORD backing you up to whomever is doing the hiring.

Pretty much that. Use those phat artist networking skills

Seriously, though, it's always great to hear something like this from anyone, let alone someone big in a production firm like that. Huge congrats!
