@Rich-Green Congratulations on a fantastic article! It's interesting to read your story about your earlier work before turning back to art. You've made so much progress already...really happy for you. And - on a side note - love the blue cow!

@Dulcie - Oh thank you so much Dulcie! That is what I enjoy about this community here so much, we are all growing and making each other better along the way. How can you show up here and not be inspired day in and day out by what everyone else here is up to, or the successes that are coming their way.

@Ed-O Thank you so much Ed! Appreciate that!

@Rich-Green it's funny because reading your interview because I also had a Koala Pad back in the day! LOL I spent a lot of time on that thing back then. I also grew up in the Chicago area - Frankfort ( out by Joliet )

@Ed-O Such a small world here in SVS I am in New Lenox.

Hi Ed - I grew up on the south side of Chicago and then we moved to Tinley Park when I started High School at Andrew. So I know Frankfort quite well! My parents still live in Tinley. Such a small world!
And it is awesome that you had a Koala pad as well. I loved that thing and like you spent countless hours drawing on it - pixel by pixel it seemed!

@Chip-Valecek and @Rich-Green that is amazing. LOL Wow, 3 illustrators from the same stomping ground! I moved out to the Phoenix are in '97 so I haven't been home in a long time.
Rich, my cousins went to Andrew and I also lived in Palos Heights after high school, went to MVCC and eventually went to NIU in DeKalb. What a small world : )
