If you're familiar with my work, you may know that I work on Legend of Korra.
If you follow Legend of Korra, you may know that co-creator Bryan Konietzko has a tumblr.
If you follow Bryan's tumblr, you may have seen a photo he took of my office.
If you saw that photo, you may know that I LIKE TOYS!
Are you still reading???? Well....
One of the many lines of toys I like happen to be the Monster High line of dolls by Mattel. But I've learned that they're kind of a pain in the ass to find in stores.
SO! I NEED MATTEL CONNECTIONS!
MATTEL! HIT ME UP! Surely you could use some sort of product artwork, or promotional artwork, or little poster artwork that you give away for free in the boxes with the dolls. I CAN DO THAT!!!! I'm a professional, right? I have a skill set to offer.... right? Otherwise I'm the greatest con artist in the world having kept my career this long. I don't ask much. All I ask is that you pay me in toys. Primarily those darn store exclusive toys that are so insanely hard to track down... unless you want to overpay for them on the ebay, and believe me, I DO NOT.
C'mon Mattel. Let's make beautiful product artwork babies together, and you can pay me wonderful toy child support. I'm sure it's totally legal (wink, wink) The mattel lawyers won't see any legal issues with such an arrangement...(wink, wink, wink)...
Mattel? You still there? Where are you going? Call me!?!?!?
I feel your pain in trying to find those exclusives.
