 I am Kip, and live in the Oregon mountains, alone, and like it that way. I see myself becoming a reclusive, crusty, old bachelor and that's OK too. My dogs and my art are more than enough...  I used to own and run a large sign company in San Jose, where I became familiar with computer software and what it can do artistically. I started hand lettering truck doors and store fronts which led to bigger things. Now I am humbled by the talent and enthusiasm you all seem to have.  I have become somewhat attached to all of you and your characters, in a weird way, and wouldn't trade you for anything. I look forward each day to seeing what you have...
