I discovered your work via a beaten-up copy of "No Man's Land" the other day. You're downright divine with watercolors and washes, y'know that?
I also love the professional balance you have between energy and clarity in your sketches of humans in motion; it's definitely inspirational for an aspiring ink-meister like myself. Please accept my watch.
