look back to the days of childhood as of greatest happiness, because those were the days of greatest wonder, greatest simplicity, and most vigorous imagination. And the whole difference between a man of genius and other men is that the first remains in great part a child, seeing with the large eyes of children, in perpetual wonder, not conscious of much knowledge,--conscious, rather, of infinite ignorance, and yet infinite power; a fountain of eternal admiration, delight, and creative force within him, meeting the ocean of visible and governable things around him.

Saradani.com
Sara Reiss, my partner and website designer, has launched her own design and art site, saradani.com. Check it out.

Geoff/Sara D-
I loved the illustrations, the paintings and the unused cover for Geoff's book. I think it'd be great for the second edition.

cheers and thanks for visiting the site.

John Siuntres is actually a professional broadcaster and it shows in his interviews. He does his homework and he asks intelligent questions. That's why I forgive his use of all-caps on parts of his site (die, all-caps, die).
I agree wholeheartedly, Troy. Siuntres is an excellent interviewer.
