I've often been asked what drives me, particularly through the last 50 years of abuse, and ridicule. What has kept me going is one word - care.

Say no to circuses that exploit and abuse animals.
God created paper for the purpose of drawing architecture on it. Everything else is, at least for me, an abuse of paper.
