Beauvais is actually fairly easily accessible. I've communicated with him on potential independent projects in the past. I think he has a great interest in the world of 3-D animation, which he is very good at. The problem is that the market is super-saturated with people who are very good in this art. I do not see any significant distinction between his work, and the work of other 3-D artists once we are talking about that high end animation. In truth, his unique artistic sensibility tends to get washed out in 3-D animation because the medium is so "cold" with no room for interpretation. When Den Beauvais was doing his airbrush work on Aliens, he was THE BEST because his sensibilities actually shined through. I hope he recognizes how valuable comic book work has become these days and gives it another try. He was miles above his peers.
