... and an inspirational quote:
"Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic." -Keith Haring

I actually saw Keith Haring tagging a wall in the NYC subway years ago. He was just starting to gain attention at that point. It wasn't until years later that I actually realized what I saw :)
