    the Champions

    After my last post, I found humor in my talk of handless people, or “gloves” in place of hands (because I have a very hard time drawing hands with a mouse!), so I thought I’d give it a whirl. One of the cool things about Illustrator is the fact that once you create something, you’ve…
