Watterson! Hand, here's a story for you --

And I like your note on art as a story, commercial or not. Even the white on white paintings by Kasimir Malevich, Russian Suprematist in Paris after WWI. Which he said symbolized icons of the Virgin of Kazan, found above the inside doorways of Russian homes. Story!

Also I appreciate your British reserve and modesty, claiming that you are not qualified to review my book. Of course you are, and if you were here in Tombstone you would feel perfectly free to say "Jon, it's a dog's breakfast" or "God, that's the most insightful book I've read since the Xara user manual." At 79, I'm worried that here in the States we have so many younger people charging up so much debt to learn so little actual skills. Near zero ROI on their huge bills for college tuition, housing, food, etc. University is a cruel racket, for artists anyway. I hope Drawing For Money helps a lot of graphic designers find good careers and stay financially solvent. And Happy 6th Day of Christmas!
