Been painting and drawing (mostly pen and ink) almost all of my life. I learned the basics at an early age working under a great painter by the name of Will Anderson and then went on to major in "Painting and Printmaking" at VCU in Richmond, Va. I don't do much painting anymore but do crank out an occasional pen and ink.

Now speaking of visual artists, BillD may be a little modest, but he does some of the nicest laithe work that you'll ever see.
