    Franchi - good art. But man, that first podcast episode he released (whether you find it funny or not... or whether he was just being sarcastic) couldn't have made anyone at Stern very happy. They're trying to run a very public business that targets all walks of life. That little "eat my butt" diatribe lacked some professional class. If he is out, the ultimate timeline will probably never be known. But, one must wonder...?

    Perhaps George stumbled upon "Clip2Comic" and realized they could pair a single intern with the app and do an entire playfield for a $1.99?

    I jest, of course...

    Quoted from Coz:

    Franchi has absolutely no filter, I like that. Unfortunately it’s not “politically correct” and not fitting with today’s political climate. I’m sure he said a few things that didn’t sit well with “the lifestyle company” Sometimes people with such a free spirit can be held back creatively, so it’s only inevitable that he’ll leave eventually.

    It isn’t about not having a filter... it’s about having a professional approach.

    Quoted from Doctor6:

    Why are people downvoting op's comments in here? I'm confused what's going on.

    I'd hazard to guess it's because he mentioned Kaneda as a source at the beginning of the thread

    I am not sure, but I'd love to see some work on a machine.

    That Blink 182 poster is really great

    Quoted from kermit24:

    I hope his health situation improves! Interesting that Franchi said he had reached out to other pinball companies to look for work.

    When you freelance, that’s how it works. Sometime the faucet is on and work from one source flows in... sometimes you gotta look for alternative faucets.

    As someone that has freelanced, I can tell you it can be an exhausting process. Work can come in crazy amounts (to the point that you’re working 7 days a week) and then just stop. So, even when busy, you have to continually mine for work. His situation might be more stable. But it sounds like he went from 100 mph to 0.

    One thing I’ll disagree with Franchi on is public proclamations. Obviously he can say and do anything he wants... but to think that folks running a business won’t take notice - or perhaps choose not to link their business with that cart - is foolish. Perhaps that’s not quite the case with artists. With pinball, only a small percentage of a very small group know or even care to know micro-facts about an artist. So, Stern May in fact not care. But, I still wouldn’t do it.
