Firstly, congratulations, on your awards and successes (fairly sure at this point, that thats how you spell successes, but feel free to correct that within your mind).
Secondly, I love your work, i think its amazing. I watched waterlollies today, and various other Brackenwood shorts, and i was all but speechless, and quick to recommend them to friends. In one of my comments (to waterlollies i think) i likened it to fantasia, this was before i heard that you were employed by disney, but i can see the influence, especially in waterlollies, but perhaps not so much in others. I do, however, like these more than fantasia, but maybe thats just my short attention span, and the fact that fantasia is quite long!!
Thirdly, thank you, for lightening newgrounds with your brilliance, i myself am not an animator, and know not the difficulty that people go into to produce animation. I can however with confidence say that your storymanship (think thats a word) is second to none on newgrounds, and that the charm of your creations is rarely seen on TV or film, let alone flash websites.
So when people say you do not belong on newgrounds, they are probably right. But for all the wrong reasons. You sir belong on television. I'd much rather see this in between MTV programs than 'The Happy Tree Friends' and thats coming from a guy that has a happy tree friends T-shirt!
keep up the good work

Yeh i tolly agree with Tom. Your work raises the bar. I dont get much time to draw and do flash with the HSC. But whenever i do i always look at your work and see how i can learn from it. Your contributions to Newgrounds are INVALUABLE. If we didn't have talented people like you here contributing to newgrounds then the quality of the submissions would not increase. I mean i still do the daily deposits on experience, and i get very sad face looking at some of the movies that make it through the portal. Plus your an Aussie. Aussies for the win!
