by Seth

Dear Seth,
How is it possible to both love and hate someone at the same time? Seth, I love you, and you kick my ass. You are the closest thing to causing me to quit drawing (I never will). But you seem to have perfected it to the point of making me weep.
I hope we never meet, you may find that I throw my sketchbook at you in digust. Thank you for showing your human (read:fallible side) in this book.
