Illustrator mensch Mordy Golding reports an interesting interaction at a recent show: <\/p>\n
\nAfter my tutorial this week, one of the attendees approached me, telling me how much he enjoyed the session. Then he told me he’d like to present me with a gift — a quarter. No, he wasn’t trying to bribe me to lobby the Illustrator team for multiple pages. But it was a special quarter indeed, because he designed it.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
