Love is so great! Wonderful illustration! Love those pants!

I might have already mentioned this but I really enjoyed the interview you indcluded on your DVD. I loved hearing about your experiance in art school and how you found your way to the artwork you do today.

Being on that path right now - not knowing where I will end up - it is nice to hear other artist's stories!
