Every Day Matters Challenge
In the winter of 2004, the Everyday Matters group formed - now 1000+ members strong - so people could communicate more
directly than just through commenting on my posts. Now, members chat everyday and get together all over the world to draw
and share their creations. It's great and you should join too. Here are some useful links about " The Every Day Matters " project:

Where have you been hiding?
Awe inspiring. Kudos!!!! Thanks for adding to this group. I am really motivated by the energy around this work and the beautiful way you have posted all this.
Oh My goodness!! A stunning series of drawings - I hope you're proud of yourself - you should be! Wonderful!
Wow, I loved looking through those - what great drawings! They actually look way more detailed in thumbnail than they actually are, which is a knack that has always escaped me - you're very talented! I have no idea how you had the patience. :)
