When I first found out about Billyskank's talent (one from the vault)
I was perusing a few DU journals, and obviously the magnificent sketchwork of Mr Skank requires the odd visit--just to see what I might have have missed--when it dawned on me that something was missing.

The first ink on post-it drawing I spotted from him. Fortuaneely for everybody concerned, I have a donor star and search the archives! Should we pester Billyskank to include ALL of his drawings? After all, I don't know how many others might have been missed. Plus I find something so appealing mysterious about the anonymous nature of the piece--sort of a girl with a pearl earring thing.

2. I hope I haven't offended him by bringing this up
it is after all his work, and perhaps he has his own desire's for its presentation.

I sense a PM in his future!

11. Whew, I'm glad to hear that
It's nice to see the progression, although I think the biggest difference was your switching to bigger paper!

I love the look on leftymom's face in her portrait! :hi:

3. He's very good
And that's why I hate him! If I had only a tenth of his talent!

Actually capturing a likeness takes skill but ain't that hard....but he manages to show the person behind the face. Badly said but you know what I mean.

Khash.

4. How can anybody hate billy?
Ok, stupid question - perhaps better put as how can anybody other than Khash hate billy? Sorry, that was beastly of me, but I did promise to be a bastard to you earlier today.

5. Uhm... because you have a slightly better chance
of getting him into bed than I do? Which is why I hate you too!

But we are reasonable men. We believe in the value of courtesy. We will not engage in catfights. In public.

So... (khash being nice, god forbid!) How are you doing today, TJ? Well, I hope?


Khash.

6. Good to see that you're as outrageous as ever.
I fear that neither of us has a statistically measureable chance of getting billy into bed - despite being a charming and beautiful man, he really has no interested in men.

I'm doing very well - although the bottle of Plymouth Gin did empty itself earlier, which is never a good thing, except in that it gives me an excuse to buy more gin. :D Oh and I got two new C.D.s today - both gorgeous renaissance polyphony :bounce: :bounce: (simple things....)

How are you?
