Hmm how could we coerce you into telling us about it.

Great links Vertigo25:

You've cursed me as I need to get back to work.

I don't know why I haven't been hanging out here all along I can rarely get converstions started about especially an artist I love.

Do you know anything about Mr Mckean does he hire apprentices, not that my porfolio is good enough at the moment but I would love to study with him.

I doubt he hires apprenticies... but... there is someone on this board who happens to friendly with someone he has worked very closely with. I'm not dropping any names, though....


(JaNell => Gaimen => McKean)
