Yes yes yes! to all of the above. You didn’t have to mention that I nagged you to start blogging, but I’m glad you did. Just glowing with pride. I am now going to watch you remove a live botfly larva from your skin, if it will ever load. I don’t know how I missed THAT one!!

You go!!

Vicki - I too like the idea that we’re helping monitor, nurture, and repair the environment with our blogs.

TR - The Motmot was highly recommended, and after reading it and talking to Debby as part of this feature, I can understand why. That she is thought of so highly by other artists also speaks volumes.

Mary - Unartistic as I am, I love seeing behind the scenes of creative work. I learn so much from the process that enriches my appreciation of the final work.

I adore this blog - well written, gorgeously illustrated, and wickedly funny. And there’s nothing I love more than seeing an artist at work, particularly when it’s work of this calibre. Very inspiring stuff.

I just recently started reading Debby’s blog and appreciate her art and the fact she shares it so willingly. This was a wonderful interview with a woman who is multi-talented and offers so much with grace and humor.

Great interview from a terrific personality and artist. I love what she says about nature bloggers helping monitor the earth and how blogging shifted her thinking.
“If I’m out hiking or sketching and a random thought pops up, I’m more likely to think of it as worth mentioning….I’ll make a note instead of letting it float off into the void.”
