1. Hi, I have recently become interested in sequential art. I’ve been drawing for a while and decided that I want to tell stories with pictures as well as with words. I have a BA in creative writing and want to go on to do graduate studies in animation. It was suggested to me that I should look into learning sequential art. I am also a big fan of graphic novels and comics. I have several ideas but need help in fleshing them out into good graphic narratives.

   Thank you,
   Faolan

Hoff was best known for his HarperCollins I CAN READ books Danny and the Dinosaur(1958) and Sammy the Seal (1959).

3. Hi! I don’t even know if this is even the right way to go about this, but I Googled “comic book artists in Gainesville” and yours was the first result.

   I have a project that I am searching for a comic book type cartoonist/artist. I had a friend in Orlando that I was hoping could take on the project but, they just informed me that they can’t. Does anyone within this organization freelance?

   I am looking for someone to do a mock-up of a Silver Surfer type comic book cover, but with a personal twist. I plan on framing it and giving it as a gift. I don’t know if it is even possible but I would need it ASAP. I’m not sure if you know of someone I can contact who might be interested and could give me a quote and to see if my time frame works too.

4. …don’t jnow much about “art,’ even though I’ve been drawing and writing for over 60 years. I always held the belief that “art” cannot be taught. But, looking over the SAW website, methinks that yours is the correct approch. Witness Justine, the very embodyment of the artist’s profile. I’ve known her for many years, and have been a fan from the very beginning. She is extreemly gifted, and will be on hand to help your students open the doors of perception.

   Give her a hug for me.
