		<description>Oh my gosh, it&#039;s so nice to find another pen and ink artist!  I&#039;m always afraid they have all died off and I&#039;m wandering around the college art world alone until I graduate and then I&#039;ll be like the last unicorn alive/last pen and ink artist who can still hold a pen.  Anyway, great work!</description>

		<description>I released my first official art print, featured on this site in the &quot;Top 5 reasons to use ink&quot;. It was a financial success, and is leading me to belive the whole starving artist thing is a myth (for hard working artists at least) and also showed the number of people who supported me and care about detailed and creative work.</description>

		<description>Congrats Margo, you are this week&#039;s winner. You get the art and the book. As mentioned in the rules I used a random number generator to pick the winner. And it sounds like you are well on your way to achieving your goals.

		<description>Thank you, for holding such a wonderful giveaway, I truly appreciate it! I am a 3 time cancer survivor (age 10, brain tumor[Menegeoma], age 21 Uterine Cancer [discovered when I was 6 months pregnant], age 36 skin cancer), as well as a 30% Service Connected Disabled Veteran (US Army 6 years). I am adopting my Husbands Boys that have been living with my Husband and I for 11 years, after my Husbands X stabbed him the in the stomach, in front of the boys. One needs a heart transplant (his heart is functioning at 30%, One is Bipolar, and one has post traumatic stress and Oppositional defiant disorder. I have tried to teach my kids, that nothing is so bad, that you can not over come it. Laughter goes a long way to making yourself, and those around you feel better. I refuse to go to bed angry, and I refuse to wake up angry. I try and make the most out of every day (including taking time to stop and smell the roses). I just turned 46, and have done so much...I lived in Europe, I sang in a band, I play Cello and Bass, I love my kids, I have a great Husband...and you know, I don&#039;t think I would have done so much if I had not had cancer. My personal philosophy about life reflects the Tim McGraw song “Live like you’re dying”  P.S. The thing I am most proud of in 2009, is my son (the one with bipolar) getting a job, and doing a great job in School (top 5% of his class, he graduates next year) and of his understanding that the Lithium he takes is making a HUGE difference in how he handles life!</description>

		<description>I have five pages inked of my 20 page issue of my second comic series. I won an Excellence in Drawing award at college and the Presidential Arts Scholarship this week also at college. Just finished my one week crash course in Typography. I&#039;m having a pretty good art year so far. Relationships, work, and other things need attention now.</description>
