This is great, Jerry! You say it all so well! Much gratitude to you for the helpful tutorials. And thanks to Joanne for presenting this insightful interview!

Your work does, indeed, say “you can do it, too,” Jerry, and I adore the way you continue to make both art and tutorials that are laying the actual platform for the “democratization” of art. We all owe you so much, Jerry… thank you.
