I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in watching one of your paintings being created, and on the iPad it's just so easy.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />MarkMarkhttp://lumographia.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392094991229154443.post-33960712886842907892013-02-04T12:07:52.888-05:002013-02-04T12:07:52.888-05:00Petra, I've had authors do that too =) (I thin...Petra, I've had authors do that too =) (I think the real danger comes in when one is both the author AND illustrator of a project ...with the power to make changes to both indefinitely =P)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143603233982366389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392094991229154443.post-47078506334232255072013-02-03T13:40:57.607-05:002013-02-03T13:40:57.607-05:00Aw on that last paragraph:
