Back a few weeks ago, I shared a photo of a self portrait that I did of myself back when I was in high school on my Facebook page. I sat in front of the mirror for several evenings in a row (until the wee hours of the morning) dressed in my finest and ended up with [...] Every year when I attend the Surtex show in New York and the Licensing International Expo in Las Vegas, I am always excited to meet many talented artists who are just starting out.
