I was both very surprised and humbled by the staff of the recently released Line Work 8 Box when I found a dedication in the form of a separate publication, Line Work 8.5. Here featured not only a very thoughtful tribute page to me a an instructor, but also my work on the front and back covers, a few of my drawings inside and most importantly the work from my Figure Drawing II class from which this whole issue sprang. What an honor to have know and worked with these young artist.
