I'm not requesting, just admiring. Kip, you are very talented, and, not just in your art. You talent also lies in your generosity, which you seem to have a super-human abundance of.
I had a friend long ago who wanted to be a flash animator, so he drew at least one drawing a day to improve his skills. He was very dedicated to that practice even if he found it hard or hated what came out. He was the biggest self critic too, but when he finally showed me his latest flash creation (this was back in highschool)... it was absolutely breathtaking. He's a graphic designer for a really major company in America now. I'm very proud of him. My parents never supported my artistic ambitions. Now I teach art to kindergarten kids instead of doing it myself, but my secret aspiration is to write and illustrate children's books in the future (although because I'm out of practice, I need a lot of time and patience with myself). Shhhhh, though. It's a secret.
Please keep up the good work, even though it's hard sometimes.
I agree. Kip is super amazing, generous, friendly and cool.
