Dear Ashlee,
You don't know me from Adam, but I was friend's w/ur big sis. She and my brother, John, were friends years ago, and he, of course, is how I discovered your artwork on DA. He knew I would enjoy looking at your illustrations, which I certainly have.
Allow me to encourage you forward on your artistic path--never doubt your God-Given gifts, as I see such wonderful talent here and a work ethic that is equally great.
Continued success, Ashlee.
Regards,
Steve Stanley
