Was rushing to see your gallery before a Chinese lesson (instead of studying...) and my server decided to start running slow! So wasn't able to comment on all I wanted this time round. It's true your B&Ws are great! Clear, well-contrasted! Really liked your story boards too. Thanks for telling me about your gallery! #2663855
