This fellow, Craig Menear, is supposedly the heir in waiting to take over for the top guy at Home Depot, Frank Blake. I am in the photo because I was selected by my store to be its representative at the District 21 Customer Service All Star lunch. Yes, I designed the aprons for the event ... though Craig didn't wear his ...still prefers the Sharpie approach.
Art wise, I am creating the playfield and backstop artwork for a new mechanical game: Lighting Streak, that is moving through its prototype phase. Three companies are interested in distributing it, all pretty large, all international, so it jumped in front of our Candy Popper and Space Baby games, though they'll get back on track once L.S. is finished. I am also jumping back into the writing gig and will update y'all with news on music, TV and film pitches as they progress.

Great news Tom. Keep at it. Use everything you know. It looks like a measure of success everywhere you turn.
Tom, it's great to see you looking well--and hobnobbing with the big-wigs! You're very stylish in yr apron!
Glad to hear the game development continues to generate interest. We'll keep rooting for your multi-media assault...a "Space Baby" film, perhaps?
Thank you for the update!
What is a "mechanical game"?
Customer Service All Star... That's you all over Tom!
BTW, I heard about this company just today... it may be another distribution avenue for your games: http://ziosk.com/
Like... pinball?
sorry for not answering: a mechanical game is like the token pusher machines or machines where you're trying to get the token to shoot out of a chute and into a revolving slot to win tickets. It's any game that has no video component. Look at Smokin' Token, Horsing Around, various others.
