Got a Job as a Stormtrooper. By Chris Bartlett, July, 2005 Recently I landed a great job at a video game company. On the surface, putting on a helmet and storming into a 6-floor office building carrying a very large, weapon wouldn't seem like the most appropriate way to be considered for a job. Putting that aside, here's what I did... When I submitted my portfolio and phoned the company, the receptionist said, " I'm sorry, we have over 200 resumes of artists we're going through. 200? So, I thought... this sounds like a job for TK409. I asked my wife about it and she was very uneasy about the idea, for exactly the reason I mentioned in the first paragraph.

"I usually work on all of them at once, so while the glue or paint is drying on one I work on another," Sillof writes on his website. "Sometimes I sculpt over the old toy parts. Sometimes I dremel down the part using it more as an armature and sculpt over it. Sillof.com. Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock.

People operating as superheroes in the real world have been making headlines over the past year, but this story takes the cake. Up in Seattle, a local costumed crime fighter thwarted a car theft and suddenly wound up on the news. Phoenix Jones, the black-and-gold wearing Seattle superhero, came across a would-be thief trying to break into the car of a local man who is only identified as "Dan.
