I wanted the concept to be a possitive one, not that anyone should be stiffled artisitcally. Far from what I intended. I hope you understand and thanks for your comments...that's true freedom! :))

we should talk... two old men to each other...my grandfather owned a Duesenburg that his driver used to give my mother rides to school. And I own an art school which could use your input.
