And we bid you farewell.  I really liked working in NYC.  Don't know if I would want to be there permanent, but I guarantee you will have a blast.

+1 Check out the Delaware Water Gap while you're up there, it's one of the prettiest places I've seen, esp in the fall!

 [thumbsup] By going to one of the top 3 Art schools in one of the top 3 Art Capitals of the world you are already on the podium man !  I really like your sketches I saw online.  I've only just met you and it is probably presumptious of me to offer advice but, that's never stopped me before so:

A few riding maxims:

When you go for a ride you have to leave things, people, & places behind you & thats ok !

If you can't fully lean into it try a bit ( or a lot ) of countersteering !

Focus on where you want to go, be entirely aware of where you are, don't dwell on the hazards or you'll hit them, and keep moving but only glance behind you because things usually only smack you from back there if you are stopped !

Finally - since you are going to Brooklyn! - from Euripides

" Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. "

Stay cool & keep in touch!  I would love to see the Big Print event at your school where they use a huge steam roller to press gravure prints out in the parking lot - beyond awesome !

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.
