The portrait of Nelson Mandela is a collaboration between my girlfriend and I.  She did the original sketch, and I postworked it in Potoshop.

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.

"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting yout heart's longing.

...it doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

...it doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away."
