happy st. paddy's day



this here would be st. patrick, patron saint of ireland, nigeria, excluded people, and engineers.

born in scotland in 383 AD or so.

as a child, sold into slavery by marauding bandits. escaped after many years. went on to become a saint by travelling around i think and doing something with st. germain, though i'm not sure what.

died in ireland in 424-ish.

speaking of volumes, I'd be interested in a series on the saints, I especially like the way you handled this one, quite melifluent.

maybe st.germain next?

as patron saint of excluded people, he must be some kind of hero for the label and art reinforcement...

"melifluent"? somebody get me a dictionary!

I find having a tape measure and a dictionary by your side at all times is a must.

my brother told me that one time when he was talking to archambeault(sp?), he said that knowing where your tools were, having a place for them so you never spend a lot of time looking/searching for them was paramount in his practise as an artist.

Wha? you need a dictionary?
If you do, let me know, I'll hook you up with the Oxford English online...
