John R. Neill's Oz illustrations may be the reason I ever started drawing. I've long since lost the urge to imitate his style- it's gorgeous, but it's not mine-- but he's with Arthur Rackham as one of the greats in my heart.
The original Dorothy was so much cooler -- cool as in competent, confident, self-possessed-- than any of her later updates. And she was all of nine. I'm 33 and I still want to be as great Dorothy when I grow up.
I also want to ride a giant lion.
Both of these are equally likely. But at least I can paint a giant lion, and that's also fun.

Everyone needs to have lists in order to maintain a healthy and productive life. It can be a "to do" list, goals list or a number of different things. Having a list keeps you in check, keeps you motivated, and it shows you progress. Always keep lists, and it is a good idea to keep them in a combined notebook. satta king
