I slacked off a bunch over the last couple years, because I had so much good work coming in. I didn’t really have to show my portfolio, because I was already getting enough people calling me! Well, I’m sure you’ve noticed that things aren’t the same as they used to be, thanks to the economy.

Talented kids…
