mally plugged me this article. she says this dude, Ray Carney, shaped her artistic vision when she was 12. i don't know about the 12 thing (when I was 12, i was a little tiny snot-nosed fucker drawing putrid x-men parody comics in ball-point pen on notebook paper), but i think the dude is doing a pretty good job of helping me to see that i have some kind of artistic vision, too. the link, again, is here.
