Enzie,

I didn't think to see if any forum artists lived out there. Next time I will let you know when I am coming out. Maybe we can get together and talk shop.

While I am now a confirmed "desert rat", I did spend the first 25 years of my life by and on the sea. So each year my wife and I spend some time at the sea shore to give me my annual salt water fix. We plan to visit Newport, Laguna and Dana Point annually as we love the area, so I will let you know when I make my next pilgrimage.

Sounds great! I would love to meet you and your wife, so make sure to let me know when you guys are back in town. :)
