No prob.
being Vegan isnt as hard as all make it out to be.
I dont even live in a major city, and it is easy.
Pleasure meeting you once again. Hopefully when I have money I can get more of your work!!!
If im at SDCC again in 08 and you have a signing, watch out ill bring vegan cookies as token of saying thank you!
Cheers

So cute! I love the matting and framing too! Did you cut out that matting design by hand, or purchased it so? Or is it the image itself that is shaped that way? It's dificult to tell but looks amazing regardless.

Exquisitely charming. I second the inquiry about the matting - rectangular is so easy that few of us stop to think twice about what could be done.

These little paintings are absolutely stunning!
Painting small is so difficult, but you are a master at all you do.
Thank you for sharing them!

I like teh Frames

(Link)

I like the deep profile box frames that you have. Adds a really good dimension to your work. Why did you choose white though?

Re: I like teh Frames

umm i think the white is a very simple and clean color to go with. i received mixed responses about the white frames... i will go with nutral- light tone nexty time ;p im hand painting my frames now on, maybe?

It was amazing to see these at the Copro Nason show. I got some photos, but I have to get them developed. I will be sure to send them. I was also wondering if you could send me an image of "Dream of a Distant Cousin"? I wanted to get a good, large image of it, but I can't find any! I'll let you know what for once I'm sure, but for now it's a secret! Thanks again!

I surely will send the photos...I believe I shall get them developed tomorrow, so hopefully by Saturday I'll be able to send them to you, all I need is a means to transfer...i.e. email, or something in that vein. I could also make an extra set of copies and mail those to you if you'd like.
As for the image, any size is fine - the larger the better! Thanks again.

I am deeply upset. :\
I went to pick up my photos, and the people at the developing place somehow managed to ruin my negatives, so very few photos came out, at very low quality. I'm very sorry for this, but unfortunately this means I have no photos of your exhibit to send to you, which is also very lame because I had some other important photos on there as well. :( Please do forgive me, I am terribly sorry, and upset at the 1-hour photo service, to say the least. Please do excuse this, hopefully someone else will have caught some photos!
