ILLUSTRATORS OWN STYLE 'Where's Waldo?' picture

Jess is the juggernaut of the illustration world, he lets nothing stand in the way of getting the job done. Easy communication with Jess, prompt replies and good suggestions, Jess was both helpful and inspirational. The only complaint that I have is, that there just arent enough artists like Jess about.
