An American Illustrator in Cyberspace

Hello!
I read about your project at the Mercury Center's site and wanted to introduce myself and my illustrations. I recently made my North American debut in American Showcase 18 and the Showcase CD-ROM. I'm a graduate of UC Santa Barbara, where I majored in Political Science and Spanish and later worked as a designer in the university's publications department. Since that time, I have gone on to open up my own illustration studio, with a style that has been described as "bold and brazen." With clients as diverse as Bank of Hawaii and Literary Works in New York, I'm interested in both assignment work and licensable characters, of which I've got quite a few just waiting to be unleashed on the unsuspecting public. I'm focussing especially on clients who can keep up with my frenzied rate of production, though I'm not averse to working with less driven individuals, too.
Please let me know if you'd like a copy of my digital demo, *The Ultimate Bad Katz Picture Show*, a 1200k self-running presentation I can either email or snailmail to you in Mac (also available at http://166.84.248.158/LouisKatz.html) or Windows format.
Thanks for your consideration!
Sincere regards, Louis Katz
