Hi Rhode!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I'm super-impressed by these drawings, great work!
I would love to get in contact with you regarding one of these wonderful illustrations. I've got a little project with a special character that you just happen to have depicted here in all his glory.
Anyway, please contact me on the email I used here so we can talk some more.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
These are amazing. Some of my favorites.
