by the fans for the fans

I'm all for it memo.

Here's my piece that I posted on Robotech.com, I'll posted here as well;

Reflecting...

I remember meeting Carl at a panel in Toronto's Anime North, the one thing that struck with me was his vast sense of humor. Very personable, he strucked me as the type that always catered to the fans and joked with them like he was a grandfather spending time with his grandchildren. I felt he enjoyed sharing his keen insight and reflections on the history and background of the development of Robotech. He never shyed upon delivering his thoughts about everything that he and others worked while on producing Robotech. He had the ability to make the fans bond with the message and themes that Robotech as a story conveyed. For that I want to say 'Thank You Carl!' for making something that became a huge part of my life. Shaped the person who I am, and create something with such innate, indescribable beauty out of animation that left everyone who first witnessed it in its initial inception completely speechless. Thank you Carl for leaving us with this great legacy. You will never be forgotten.

As A child we are often times inspired by the creativity around us. Small influences that often push us to excel. And as a child I watched Robotech, and at the time I must admit I didn't really know who brought this tale to us. But Later in life I learned that it was an influence brought to me by Carl Macek. This show was more then just a simple show it had dynamic characters and stories that helped influence a child's mind. His Visionary insight of how shows like this would change the American viewing world has helped in my case inspire me to be and Artist and a someone who enjoys science. So later in life I can really appreciate the hard work and insight that Carl provided for me as a fan. I will miss the Kind man that Carl was and how always took interest in not only the fan's but the things that made us fans.

I have some artwork i'm currently working on and would like to contribute it to the project also.

i'll post more later.

Though if I may ask, when's the deadline for the book? I had a few more ideas for a couple pictures, but I don't know how much time there is left for submissions.

Thanks.
