I’m trying to develop a specific contract for my firm’s LA work and am trying to find a good sample contract to model ours after.

Thanks!

I just picked up a handful of Blick markers. Are they any good? I’ve used AD and Prismacolor, are these better, worse, or about the same?

At your request Jonathon I am going to attach one of my recent plan view renderings for your evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses….I would like comments from whomever has some input….good or bad…..It will be in the above discussions…
