For several years I was employed as a sign artist...
which was all well and good, but I got to a point where I felt
if I had to letter another sign I would go absolutely bonkers!
While browsing in an art gallery in Eureka Springs...I came upon the work of Lin Wellford...and fell in love with it at once.
I felt like I could do that sort of work myself, and was delighted to find she had written a book, "The Art of Painting Animals on Rocks". (This little fellow now resides at Devo's house...)
