How did you feel when you first saw your artwork used in a project (card, page layout, etc.)?


AMAZED. To have a black and white drawing leave my desk and the next time I see it it's become a major element in one of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen is just amazing. And then . . . the next day to see the same black and white drawing become a whole new and different beautiful card is completely awesome. I LOOOOOOVE seeing you guys take my drawings to a higher level!!! I don't mind at all that the majority of the time I look at your finished art and KNOW I could not have done it so well.


What advice would you give other digital stamp artist?

Well. That's kind of hard. I don't really see a digital stamp artist as different from a regular professional illustrator. My advice would be to protect your copyright and help other artists protect their copyrights. The digital world is scary -- and a lot of people "using" digital art do not understand that sharing is stealing. Also, there are a lot of people who are trying to sell images that are not really their own.


And a pet peeve -- Scanning in an image and putting it up for sale does NOT make one a digital stamp artist. :)

Thanks, Mo!  Please know that we will come to rescue.
