My ART PORTFOLIO is (STILL) missing!

February 1st, 2012

To the kind woman who called and told me she found my portfolio full of art on December 1st in the parking lot in Davis CA,

I do not have your contact info, you said you would return the portfolio to my home, I am still waiting, I am at your mercy, and I am imploring you to contact me. I will come out to you, any time, anywhere.

You have my latest comics project, and I cannot complete it without the artwork, art materials, script, and reference you now have.

I have had a reward sitting at my desk, waiting for the portfolio’s return.

The phone company has no record of the call, the police said they cannot help. If anyone could please share with anyone in the greater Davis area - I believe the woman who contacted me said she’s from Winters? Dixon? Woodland? Williams?

I have created a Facebook page to try spreading the word, if you could join it and share:

HELP ME GET MY ART PORTFOLIO BACK!

Thanks so much, everyone, for your help,
Sincerely,
Chris
