Hello? Anyone there?

I am fearful that many of you have become apathetic to the art making cause. The year is not over and we are not done learning. I am not so sure you are all aware of that. The importance of reading this book, that I feel is going to help you out in the future, regardless of your choice of careers, is part of the curriculum that has been built up for you. Thanks for those who have contributed. The rest of you, 80% of what you might have received is still available. FKorb
