I always have a tendency to think a little harder about almost everything right after I look over somebody new’s site and their own insights. This and other articles in your website here most definitely give some food for thought. I wound up in here after doing a bit of work related research on Google and mysteriously ran into your blog. It’s always a pleasure browsing through and I do hope you keep things up. Enjoy the week.

This still is a horrible tragedy. We lost one of the worlds best salesman. Billy Mays was far more memorable, charismatic, and helpful than Patrick Swayze whom the media loves to dote on. We need to remember the man who always was in your face. A man that was dedicatted to the best. Who we imitated, looked up to, and loved in his life as we shall continue to in his death. A death which leaves the world in comparative silence, in the wake of his strong voice. RIP, Billy Mays… We will remember you online when we use all CAPS to carry on your legacy.

One important thing I like about blog articles is this: they spark an idea in my head. Once that happens, I feel like I must provide feedback with the hope it will be pleasant to others. Considering the fact that there are various web logs with diverse points of view, they question your understanding. It really is at these moments when you have significant insignt others may not have had, including the blogger him/herself. I find myself coming back to to your weblog mainly because you have numerous brilliant insights and you happen to be at this a very long time, which is very exciting and tells me you know your stuff. Keep triggering ideas in others!

Hello Mr Archambault!
My name is Billy Norrby and I’m a third year junior at SVA, going into my fourth year.
Im at the illustration department and have been studying painting extensively with Marvin Mattelson these last three years.
As much as I’ve enjoyed my painting experience here at SVA, with excellent teachers such as Mattelson and Steven Assael, I feel that I’ve been missing out in the drawing department and that I’m not as good of a draftsman as I could have been.
Hoping to make up for my lacking drawing skills, I’m looking for a great teacher who can re-inforce what I’m learning in my oil painting classes. To help me reinforce my weak and wobbly structure!
I’ve bought DVD’s of your website and I really enjoy your teaching method. And you do come highly praised and recommended by Marvin!
So therefore I wonder if you are throwing any workshops this summer in New York, or if there are any other opportunities to learn from you this coming period?
Best regards!
Billy Norrby
