Emmy Award

I just got an Emmy Award for Individual achievement on "Transformers Prime", along with my friend Vince Toyama who got the same award for his work on the same show.

Check it out here.

Unlike the other awards of the ceremony that are Nominations (and "Transformers Prime" got 4), these 2 awards are direct wins, because they are for individual achievement. There were 4 this year, but the jury can decide every year to have several or none at all.

Champagne time! :D

Starting pre-production work on season 2 of Transformers Prime.

Based on the audience ratings and the critics reviews (you can see a few here, here and here), season 1 is a hit in the US and well on its way to become one worlwide.

Hopefully, Hasbro will allow us soon to start posting artwork.
