Read MoreHi, I just finished watching and just seeing how you work, from start to finish, is so wonderful to watch. Your openness to share your knowledge is so beneficial to me. I often wonder how people's art gets made and watching answers that in many ways. i have all those tools you use, I just never thought about using both digital and traditional in that way. So, yeah, you've bridged the gap in my mind. NEW SYNAPSES FORMED!!! Thank you again Jake, Daniel Sorensen
