Thanks.

I'm not bothered when I have to sit down and create for hours on end. Its what I love to do. I usually don't even notice the time go by.

When I used to be invovled with graphic design that was exactly what it was like. My soul and creativity was being sucked away for pennies. I started to feel so disconnected from my work that I became sick of it.

Old books are the best. The Macbeth that I bought has old notes in the margins as well. It's some student's perspective on the importance of Lady Macbeth.
The old books with the hand painted covers are my favorite. I have this copy of Lost in the Forest by R.M. Ballantyne. The cover is brown but on it is a gorgeous tiger in red and sail boat in blues, greens and yellows. You can actually feel the brush strokes when you run your hand over the cover.
