What beautiful work!  I love your calligraphy!!  I’ve tried for years to become at least competent at it, but I have no consistency and it is a real effort.  Also, the “Attitude” silkscreen is absolutely fantastic.  You put your entire being into your work and that is so obvious.  Your blog and your etsy shop allow the lowly super-untalented of this world, like myself, a chance to take a peak at the creative process and how it can influence every particular of a person’s existence.   I agree with you that we must leave something of substance behind, if we are to have lived for a purpose.  Since I can’t create, I volunteer.  It is a great pleasure to see what you do, and to know something about why you do it.  May you continue to be inspired, always.
