I can safely say, even if you'd never made another piece of art, or digital brush—I'd still remember you from the magic tricks at the Illustration Academy.

I really appreciate you saying so! I am a serious hobbyist and nothing more, but it's enough to entertain others, and I get so much joy from it. It means a lot to know you remember those tricks from almost 20 years ago! I am a massive fan of your paintings. Wishing you well from Heidelberg!

It’s great so far - obviously lots of adjustments to make and new things to learn, but it’s an all around positive thing for the whole family. Thanks, Steve.

Ha, my "useless skill" is figure skating. It's the thing that keeps my brain happy and at ease, but if I go to a creative conference it's useless haha.

A few of my others are:

- Making fancy charcuterie boards

- making sushi

- household things, like changing smoke alarm batteries

- detailing my car properly

- picking a good bottle of wine

Figure skating is so cool! I love watching it at the Winter Olympics. I have only tried ice-skating three times and have landed very painfully every time I've given it a go! I admire anybody who can do it well.

Hey Kyle! Just found you on Substack. There's so many platforms and posts and didn't know (I should have looked to be honest - too much to do so little time). Anyway, have loved your work and teachings for years! When I do my work I always have your suggestions in my head. Thank you for this post! And wow!! I had no idea you guys moved to Germany. Hope it's going well :)
