As an aside...
I'm toying with the idea of a releasing a non-guild related publication for artists. While I'll be revealing studio tricks for experts, it will also cover important basics for newcomers to the field. Addressing more than just technique and fonts, but also how to price your work, manage a home business, and so forth.
Yes, contact me if you do this.
