Hi there! Welcome to the forums!

I'm also in Silicon Valley, let me know if you ever want to meet up and do an in-person sketch meet! You can message me here or instagram (you'll probably get a faster reply on insta, I'm horrible about checking here if I'm not currently doing a class)

@handdrawnviolist , Thank you. I am not active on instagram yet. I have to learn to use it. Seems like it is a more popular platform for artists than twitter (for writers). I will follow you on twitter.

Welcome to the forum! Regarding your comment about Instagram -- you should sign up. It's pretty easy to use and there are a lot of SVS forum members on Instagram. It's fun to follow everyone's work.

Greetings, it is great to have you here. I hope I get to see more of your work and watch your journey!

@demotlj @theprairiefox , Thank you both. I will have to get going on IG soon and meet all the other SVS artists.
