I'm definitely one of those artists stuck in the middle. I'm hoping to take more art classes here in school though, and maybe the next time I'll remember my scanner so I can share my artwork as well.

As for Relina... Wah! Your drawings always impress me! I still am willing to pay you for a great design I can print on a shirt (thus making my D&D group jealous of my coolness). :D

Good luck with the jobs as well. I'll be headed back to the tourist-infested bakery this summer myself, but it's to earn money to further my schooling...and maybe to dabble in decorating some more so my art skills don't go to waste. ^_-
