Me, too! At least about the kid's books but at this point I am only aspiring to something laminated and bound at Staples and sold on ebay, or given away in a free download somewhere. I'm working on a series of semi anotomically correct potty-time drawings. If I ever finish them and if they help Wyatt then I will share them with other parents. While I have lots of creative ideas, my craftsmanship and actual artistic ability are only average. I've been bidding on technical pens on ebay because I don't know what happened to mine from a graphic design class I took like a century ago. I'd kind of like to do a pen and ink or watercolor and pen look.

Seeing your incredible art made me feel about a hundred years old :) because I had never heard of deviantart before. It was very cool to see it--it is so evocative. I'm still processing the novelty of it in my head. I like the marbling, the organic shapes, the color moods, the whimsy, and the weird way it reminded me of those documentaries that illustrate hormones and feelings as bright bursts of color on black backgrounds, like when you close your eyes after looking at a light source. In that way, the art reminds me of a freeze-frame of a single raw feeling in a paralell universe somewhere out there. Okay, I'm waxing on and on, arent' I? It also made me think of Fantasia, which I recently saw for the first time. Have you seen the anniversary version and the commentary at the end?

In art class, during critique, we could introduce our work and talk it up. So one time I went on and on about what I was going for with this one assignment. At the end, this guy said, "Wow, that is so cool. If only you could make it look like that." Well, that was humbling. I guess I'm a writer then.
