Mrstrongest
I'm a humorous illustrator. I've been at it for over 20 years. I do my line drawings by hand, then finish them in Photoshop. It's my firm belief that nothing communicates more effectively than good illustration. Humor multiplies its power. I once drew caricatures of dogs and their owners at an animal hospital open house. So I've paid my dues. I live in New Hampshuh, USA, which is a great place to chop wood and swat mosquitos.
