love that Style
I would say that hhe picture you have in the upper left corner is not Seth’s. It’s quirky enough, but Seth never did that sort of shading, at least not since he started doing comic book work, nor are those his style of figures. Thanks.
Thank you so much Vicki. I fixed the problem and removed the pic. I wondered if that was his or not and I’m not surprised that it’s not. Your son was an amazing artist and he is missed. Thanks again for visiting our site.
