Rich-I'm a big supporter of the whisker movement. Somebody has to stand and be heard.... Rob't - I thought to make this concept work, them papers needed DE-tail. And... I had recently gotten a bunch of those Micron pens.... pretty cool to work with, esp with watercolor ( with a nod to recent works by John Hendrix and Scott Bakal, who deftly employ their use, sources report) Thanks H,M & R...
