...a lot of people come by to thank me for watching them.

To that, I say: no, thank you for being talented and inspiring artists.

I know it takes tenacity, dedication and a touch of compulsive madness to be an artist. I know how hard it is to bring a piece to completion. I know how hard it is sometimes to even look at your own work.

Yet you persist. It's more than I can do; I've drawn all my life, but all my online galleries hang empty.

So, thanks. It's a daily pleasure to see new work come up on my watch-list.
