That is an amazing photo. I have heard that Arnold is a really nice guy on set.

Xochi Blymyer

Tom Lapke he was. I worked with him first on "Red Heat" and then "T2", both times a pleasure to work with him.

I'm obsessed with this picture!! Look at baby Xochi!! T2 is one of my favorite films and I LOVE that you not only worked on it but had such a wonderful experience.

Thank you guys for sharing, I know that people out there need to be encouraged. Making a living from what you love creating can be a challenge all by itself, but the first step is to get whatever it is your creating out into the world. Thanks for all the tips!

Maurice Vaughan cool, Maurice. I like that use of props, which in live-action I haven’t used so much. But in the animated series I have had lots of ideas about that, to have kind of subliminal message...

Maria Baltazzi thank you, Maria. Yes, words have power!

Mike Boas That is all definitely true. But I was too young to have any of that on my radar, so it is just happy memories for me.
