    Hey guys, thanks so much, I love the show! I know it’s tough to fit all this stuff in, you guys kinda breezed over the “using white space, color and weight to create entry points” section. If you could talk about this topic another time in greater detail, I’d love it! Anyway, I’ve been watching a lot of your shows and it has been very helpful and inspiring.  Keep it up!

    I found a couple of your shows on YouTube which led me here.  I’m trying to learn Illustrator at the library.  Didn’t know it HAD an export feature until I heard you mention it.  That one factoid really helps.
    Thanks!  

    You guys are really doing some good stuff and I appreciate it. I’m sure others do too.
