Thanks TheCosmicMoth!
Yoc, cheers for your very gracious and appreciative words. It really means a lot friend. I'm very proud of what TVIA grew into from its most humble of beginnings. I'm happy to have created a resource that exists like none other. If it ever manages to produce great artists of the calibre of a Reed Crandall or Lou Fine then it has done what it was established to do. I really endeavoured to create a fun, inviting, home-like atmosphere conducive to creativity, that paid tribute to the best of that vintage era of thrilling illustrated media.
