It was the first real feature about me and my work and included a (substantially wrong) interview. Nothing else published or sold has ever felt nearly as good, though many paid more and many had higher readership. (The real credit goes to Molly of MJP Artists who repped me and did all the work back then.) That said, there are many things that have been more fulfilling in my personal life that this doesn't even hold a candle to. This is just a hobby. -Don May 14 06 03:18 pm Link |
