I love the way your drawing has so much detail that I feel like the pile is right in front of me. Just when I think you can’t possibly do anything more amazing, you do!

I never heard of a photo pencil before either -- must check it out, especially if it contributes to such a great drawing! Julie, this is awesome, as usual!

The cat looks almost identical to a cat I have seen in the Dick and Jane series.

Really good mix of typography and drawing, and I have to say it is one of my favourites of yours. I think I might try and seek out one of those pencils to experiment with.<br/><br/>Detlef<br/>http://www.detlefjumpertz.com Like others have said this is a GREAT drawing.

Can't wait to see more of them turning up in strange places on your art.

In other words to teach kids how to read, using the picture with the word, to make flash cards. Really cool drawing. It is so real looking. Sue I think these stamps are reading stamps.
