        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[ recently, i've found some of the books and comics that inspired me to draw when i was young (in the early 70s to mid 80s). these were the artists and subjects that consumed me. finding these books also reminded me how much i used to draw when i was a child. i'm glad that i never out grew the urge to constantly draw. i'm even more happy that i never out grew the subjects that i used to love to draw..., monsters, robots, cartoons, animals, and comics. i've done this both personally & professionally over the years, always escaping the trappings of the "serious artist"..........whatever that is.     ]]></media:text>
