Hey there! I'm another Charlotte NC artist. Always loved your baby tabasco dragon! Feel free to contact me by e-Mail or in-site Note, as I'd like to know how to get through professionally.

My Boyfriend was wanting to use this picture as a user photo on a stream he is doing, when he found out that it was art work from a deviant Art user he asked me to see if it would be okay with you. he would credit the work as yours. His stream user name is Tabasco lol please respond soon as you can thank you

Hello there,
I want to apologize to you, because I've mistaken your tabasco baby-dragon as a professional advertising-poster of Tabasco and did a homage to your work. I hope that's okay, because I don't want to make the impression I've wanted to steal your idea or art.

No worries.. I'm happy the work appealed to you, and you thought it was a production piece. It's pretty rough around the edges when you look closely, and is basically a comp for what COULD have been a print ad. That's what I do for a living... show the client what an idea might look like in an ad. (OH..I see I did answer you below.. good for me, and hopefully you too)

Why hello there, long time no see.
Well, yes you did and I was relieved after your reply, so once again thank you. I'm just taking such matter quite serious and to heart, but it's fine now.
And I hope you're still doing well in and life and your job.
I have finished my studies some time ago by now and work in a small company for textile print as graphic designer.
Mostly I do corporate design, print and illustrations there.

Thanks. I agree, but it's not something I can license since I borrowed the Tabascoยฎ bottle. This is a self-promotion piece, which happens to also promote Tabascoยฎ hot sauce in the process. Everyone's happy I think.

Hey jwohland:
My name is Grace, I used to work with Mrs. Melinda Moore at Stonegate Animal Hospital in Dandridge TN, lol. she said i should look you up and check out some of your art work. So I did, and wanted to say
"Fantastic!!" The baby dragon is by far my favorite!!
I'm trying to start in a graphic design field. currently I'am looking into The Art Institute Online. know of any good school references?

Hi Grace.. Ah... Mrs Melinda Moore at Stonegate Animal Hospital! I never hurts to drop a cool official sounding name like that even we're not actually veterinarians. Thanks for the kudos on the baby dragon! I really got lucky when the concept came to me. It's got some broad appeal across a bunch of groups. I'm not sure I could really duplicate the perfect storm that picture created.
I have to say, I'm not really up on my art schools these days. I will say in general, that its going to have a lot more to do with what you put into your education than what you can get out of your school. By that I mean if you are positively obsessed with observing, documenting and distilling what you see around you adding your own unique spin, you're well on your way. Start building your visual database and sketch ALL the time! Capture the world around you as YOU see it. There's no short-cut to putting in the effort. I've always felt fortunate to love what I do, and that only makes me work harder at it. When what you do for work is fun, working harder is very much like having more fun. What could be better?
Good Luck!
Keep in touch!
~ John

Hi.. I appreciate you letting me know. I have seen it posted on the Tabasco page a few times. Unfortunately I've had to stick my nose in there each time and claim credit for it. I did do it for people to enjoy so I'm really just glad people like it enough to share it
Thanks for being one of the "good people" keeping an eye out for all of us! There's no hiding when we're all connected like this!
