A friend of mine who was also a co-worker of mine at 4kidsent (TMNT Storyboard Artist)is Directing/Producing a short Anime and is looking for dedicated artists who can help out with Background Design/Layout/Colors...Check his page out and if interested, email him or send him a message. Samples of his work are on his Deviant page, as far as I know the animation project will be submitted to DIGICON 7, which is an Asian Animation Festival.
