Thanks, Steven, Lacey,

When I taught at RISD, the students would sneer at the middle-aged lady in front of them and ask "What have YOU done?" I mentioned a few things like my painting work, being a member of the Copley Society, my portrait website, movie posters, not 'til I mentioned Jem were they impressed. and HOW! Then I became the coolest dudesse, that was until I graded 'em. Then I became Cruella DeVille.

Actually, my illustration work has been a great lesson in design work and color. With Jem I had to work against the day-glow background of the package designer. I made a LOT of color studies. Also, because things are looked at in a nano-second in this world, I had to learn the edit and present the most salient features clearly to grab the attention of the viewer. It was great training.
