On vacation. These guys called Coatis have infested the beach and are causing complete havoc. Directly after I stop recording jumped on a girl's table and took her nachos. Yesterday one stole my hamburger. Notice the sign warning about the Coatis.
I love them.

Hoping to find someone who is adept at making likeable characters that have an air of being a little humorously off kilter. If you think smear frames are funny you're in the right mindset.
Shoot me some links/portfolios if you know of or are someone like that. :)

Started playing Ape Escape on a whim and am completely taken by how endearing and creative everything is. Especially the apes themselves.
