Yo, I prefer 'Universal Magnetic'. You ever here 'Get Ta Steppin' from Hi Teknology? Its so smooth!!!

Great pic, you really caught Mos' personality. I saw him live in London once, with a live band and his personality and presence was just incredible. He OWNED that venue...

Cool, wouldnt mind seeing him live too. Though I dont care as much for his newer stuff as his older.

Hey, that means a lot to me to be appreciated by a great artist like you Brian. Thanx

I have a vague memory of asking you about things in illustrator but I just cant remeber where. I have looked through almost all of your deviations to find my comment but I cant find it Do you know where it was?

I would really like to know more about how to draw line art in illustrator, you should make a tutorial.
