"Charles Zembillas created A LOT of character art for not only Crash Bandicoot, but Crash 2 and 3 as well! Here's a quote from Charles:
"To be honest, I'd have mixed feelings about working with ND again. I haven't spoken to those guys in years. My last communication was in 2002 when I told them just how I felt about the tricks they play. Joe Pearson hasn't had communication with them since 1996 when Crash 1 came out. He took offense at what they were feeding the press about how Crash came to be. I don't blame him for feeling the way he did. I went along until after Jak and Daxter when they pulled the same play. Ever heard of David Siller, the original producer of the first Crash game? He could tell you some stories too."
"I'd rather do new things on my own to tell you the truth. I'd work with Andy Gavin. He was the most valuable person in the mix as he oversaw the programming and he was pretty easy going."
"Sony bought the company in 2001. By 2004 I think both of the founders were gone. I'm pretty sure Jason was let go by that time.""
