Wow...


I received this completely unexpected and profoundly touching letter in the mail. You never know who is seeing your art or how your art may be affecting them. A letter like this is truly appreciated. Adds some perspective to your life. I still ain't sending any prints though! Sike;) I'm about to hook this person up with some goodness^_^ Thank You.

Sincerely,
Eric

Prison! Those wages are low cause it's not a vacation!

Fan mail is cool though. Congrats.

man, that really is something special, to inspire someone in such an uninspiring place shows how far art can reach!

I literally JUST watched Shawshank Redemption and then read this post. That is amazing and the comment before this took the words right out of my mouth.

I've never commented on here before but always checking your updates. What you produce is simple beautiful.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Heheh, whoa that's cool. You know that really is what makes what we are all doing worth while. I can't help but wonder tho, how did he get your addy? Should you be worried? What's he in for? :/

Aw that is cool :)

That's pretty amazing stuff. I wonder if this guy's got a sweet art collection by doing this. I must remember this for when I go to prison...

Yeah, I've been wondering why as well. My addy is listed in the back of Spectrum with my other contact info. I don't know. Hopefully, it is what it seems to be. Something inspirational.

I knew you had powers E, but this is really special.

very,very,very awesome. Now that's what I call a piece with real perspective. "I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free."
