Perhaps not the exclamation favored by full-time art critics, but your illustrations are nothing short of magnificent! One of the things about dreams is that it helps if you get motivation and ability aligned, and you're definitely able to pull off yours.

I've already realized my dream job (career, rather, I guess) but once I'd attained that dream the dream no longer seemed so dreamy. Actually, the lustre was fading long before I gained the qualifications that gavce me access to that career. Going through a rough patch, that doesn't help, but for the first time in my life I'm not quite sure of What I Want To Be When I Grow Up.

But our choices and the random (or not) events that bounce us through life seem to often lead to what's best, if we're mindful and stay in charge of ourselves, and for quite some time now I've realized that perhaps my real dream job is a peripheral part of the career plane across which I've been traveling thus far. I've dabbled in that dream, too, and it's ultimately proven far more fulfilling than the has immersing myself in the main channel of my career field. Sounds like you, sort of, in that respect -- I definitely have a tendency to embody "The Impossible Dream" kinda thing, and I just hope that the expansion and shifting of my dreams is not just a result of never being happy with what I have, where I live, and what I'm doing.

Really, Jen, those are some incredible illustrations. Here's to dreams...
