(The phrase "ability to mentor junior artists" implies at least two junior artists.)Wheeeeeee! Who do you think will apply? I would apply myself if I thought I had a prayer of actually landing the job. Hooray for new armor artists!Jen <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img mce_tsrc=" />" </span>
