Good question.
As a master builder (not that they would have me)? No. I build in my way,
and that probably wouldn't work for what they need to have done. The only
caveat to that is: All those pieces...(insert Homer Simpson drooly sound here).
As a graphic designer (my bag)? Oh heck yeah! I really enjoy creating
LEGO-like graphics for my MOCs and all, and I could definately see myself
doing it officially. Also, reference my fonts (and the finally upcoming
final Brick'n'Brack site). I could totally work in the creative arena for
LEGO (Brad? Tomas? Are you listening?)
In merchandising? I have worked for two toy stores in my time, and while at
T'R'U I claimed the LEGO asile for my own (hey, this was 13 years ago, right
out of high school). I did such a great job keeping the asile up, when the
local LEGO merchandiser was going to be promoted, he tried to get me the
position (included a brand new car of my choice...I was SO excited!). Some
VP's nephew/son/whatever got the job instead, and royally f'd it up. He was
fired within 8 months, but by then I had gone to Nebraska for school, so I
couldn't pick up the position. So yeah. I'd do that.

| A question for all of you that I'm interested in knowing: We all like Lego here, but does that mean you would work for them? I have different feelings about this, mainly producing Art on a production basis, or stories I have heard about being traind (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)
