  Charlie was drawing when I first met him, and in all the years since when I've been lucky enough for our paths to cross, he's always been involved in fun, fascinating, high-stakes creative work. Whether working with his own ideas or helping others, he takes rough ideas and polishes them into finishe

  d products using a a deep and well-honed toolbox of skills. Whatever your project, you want him involved.

  I'm a huge fan of Charlie's graphic design, illustration and cartooning skills. I've followed his work closely since we were both at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I look forward to the time we can work together on something. Coolness will happen. That's what he brings to things.

  Charlie Bates is one of the sharpest, most creative people you'll ever meet. Skilled as both an artist and a writer, he's also a cracker-jack manager. That makes him a one-man force who can lead any size of a team to bring any project from raw concept to finished project. Hire him or be jealous of t

  hose who have.

  While I worked side by side with Charlie at White Wolf many years ago, and was always impressed with his writing and design talent, most recently we worked on a project for "Teach your kids to play RPG's day". He illustrated the entire series of books and I could not be more impressed with his skill

  level, his attention to detail, or his professionalism. I have always enjoyed working with him as I know that he will produce superior results while being easy to work with. Anyone lucky enough to work with him knows why I highly recommend Charlie.

  I have had the pleasure of working with Charlie in various capacities over the years, from when I was a freelancer while he was Managing Editor at White Wolf, through to working together on card game development and, most recently, when I hired him to produce some art assets for OneBookShelf. Thus I

  've seen his contributions firsthand as both a writer and an illustrator. Charlie is a conscientious and meticulous contributor at every stage of the process. If you have dependencies on Charlie, then you have nothing to fear: He will deliver excellent material, to spec and on time, every time.
