A perfect candidate to join our troop of outstanding individuals me thinks. www.jameskape.com

When your office doubles neatly as a gallery for local artists, it’s probably no surprise that Dallas’ TractorBeam (great name) have an eclectic but satisfying display of delights of their own… Founded back in 1997, they say “…collaboration is king.
