Mission: Accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>Because my site gets way more traffic than The Beguiling&#8217;s site, I did want to take the opportunity to send you to visit the online homes of all of our participating artists at this year&#8217;s FCBD events. They were really stars, drawing and sketching all day (many of them without any breaks) and sending you to check out their work is the least I can do.<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><strong>Michael Cho<\/strong> (Transmission-X, Max Finder): <a href=\"http:\/\/www.transmission-x.com\/\">http:\/\/www.transmission-x.com\/<\/a> , <a href=\"http:\/\/chodrawings.blogspot.com\/\">http:\/\/chodrawings.blogspot.com\/<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Willow Dawson<\/strong> (Violet Miranda): <a href=\"http:\/\/www.willowdawson.com\/\">http:\/\/www.willowdawson.com\/<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>J.
