If you hadn't given a critique of Tiffany and Dave's work I probably wouldn't have read it, and discovered some wonderful new (to me) photographers...Thank you!! They have given me permission to draw their beautiful photographs of big cats so I'm thrilled with you, thrilled with them, and happily painting away. Thank you!!! Annie

Oh good! I'm glad! Good luck with the drawings. I can't wait to see them.

I hadn't thought of sculpture! Of course :) I'd categorize that with traditional art :)

One of these days I'll get my submissions in! The hellish demon of school is breathing down my neck right now telling me to get my crap together!
