Interesting, because I worked at a different agency 4 years ago, and we used him for a project at that firm, and, yep, he missed a big deadline, because of a death in the family! Moral of the story, if an agency I work for hires you to do illustration work, make sure all family members have their life insurance paid up! Oh yeah, this guy is a complete jerk, and I warned my current bosses about his history, and they ignored my advice. But they did allow me one chorus of "I told you so", which was kind of satisfying!
