Congrats!
How about some linkies to show off his past works.
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
Congratulations David!
But a question:
Ken Morse is (was?) the Art Lead. So, how can the Art Lead promote someone else to Art Lead without he himself being promoted, demoted, laterally moved, or fight the new Art Lead in a battle to the death?

David doesn't look it at first, but he's rather scrappy. Also, he fights damn dirty.

Wait until you get your own redname! 
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Congratulations David. A well-deserved promotion.
For those that asked for a link to show off his past works, well, you can try David's Sketch Thread in the HeroCon section. Or, surprisingly enough, you can try David's Sketch Thread in the Screenshots and Fan Creations section.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.

Don't ruin the image I have in my head of Ken Morse and David Nakayama fighting to the death!
It's awesome!

Oh, good! Of course, now rampant speculation can begin on what the 'And more...' means, but as long as the march of development progress continues on, I'm good.|

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the way that was worded. Mr. Morse wouldn't happen to own any legwarmers or Jell-O molds, would he?

Grats, Nakayama! Great news!
Does this mean he will be telling Jay what to do? I wish I understood the positions, and their leads better. Think we could get a chain of command diagram?
Congratz!

There used to be someone of that name that visited the Screenshots & Fan Creations forums...
Haven't seen him for a while... figured that maybe he was a figment of our imagination...
But really, Congratulation David it's well deserved.

Hi all!
Since my last post about changes that have happened at Paragon Studios, we have more good news to share!
Many of you already know our artist extraordinaire, David Nakayama, and some of you have even met him in person at one or more of the conventions we have attended over the last couple of years. As a matter of fact, several players have amazing color drawings of their CoH characters thanks to Davids sketching talent.
After so much hard work and dedication, it was only a matter of time until David's accomplishments were recognized within Paragon Studios, and therefore, we are happy to announce that the studio management and Ken Morse have promoted him to the Art Lead position! We are all truly excited to see David use his new position to help push City of Heroes forward from an artistic standpoint.
Like other recently promoted members of the development team, you can expect to see David Nakayama participate in the Ask A Dev Program and other community related initiatives moving forward. He will also be with us at PAX East, representing the Art Department on our panel session entitled Re-Inventing a Super-Heroic MMO.
We just wanted to take this opportunity to pass along the good news and publicly acknowledge David Nakayama on a job well done. Congratulations, David, on your well deserved promotion to City of Heroes Art Lead!
