I was first introduced to Todd's artwork at the sidewalk chalk art festival at the Gateway last summer. He did a rendition of the painting on the right. I thought it was very imaginative and brought his card home to check out his web site. I was very impressed at the many mediums he uses and the draw that he has to color. I was glad to see his artwork once again in the newspaper.

Thank you for the great article. Hopefully this will also increase awareness about how amazing digital art can be and how it breaks the molds of our traditional stereotypes of fine art.

My son is 18, and has FA - someday I hope he also has a friend as wonderful as you, Todd. God bless your work, and may you continue breaking boundries. May Ben's memory be eternal.
