Hi there! Are you sure you won't consider a freelancer from overseas? I'm an experienced illustrator and animator in both 2D and 3D, with a number of larger clients under my belt including FremantleMedia and St. George, and am willing to be available on Skype when needed (provided I know in advance when a midnight call can be expected :) ). If this sounds alright to you, by all means, get in touch and I can send you links to my portfolio. Thank you!
