    hello, I sent an application a little over a week ago to the jobs@vigil email address but haven't heard anything back from them. Would it be appropriate to send another application To Treston, as a more direct means, or would he have gotten my application anyways. I really, really want this position.. but also don't want to be a nuisance to the HR or art lead

    **EDIT**
    I apologize, I meant to post this on your Environment Art Intern post. Sorry for any confusion.
