Thank you John, hope you agree It's a wonderful feeling staring at a blank sheet of paper and before long a character is playing out his or her own story.

Thank you so much for your words on my wall. I like very much. you write books and for that the people need many fantasy. i think i dont have enough fantasy for that, because that i liked more to paint with acryl and doing pictures with camera. So i wish you all the best. Greetings

John, if art is a hobby, I can't wait to see what happens when can devote more time to it. Great work. Very impressive. You've obviously spent some time studying figure.
10 kids? I could barely raise one, and thought I had my hands full. lou

Thanks for your lovely comment John. Your art is amazing, so many styles. And multi-talented too. Your kids are very lucky to have a dad with such a creative carpentering talent.

Hi John. I meant to say before that your pencil drawings of the Fairies are some of my favorites. Have a Dragon story? They have such life to live.

Thanks so much for your encouragement and ideas. Your "real" art is really appealing. I'm going to forge ahead and write some illustrated ya stories in ebook format and see what happens.
