Hello all you lovely GS artists!
I need HELP!
YOU get to be my hero.
AND it will only take a minute.
AND you get to see pretty things! Yay! =D
And.......GO!!:

As you may know, I am in the final year of my Illustration Programme at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. My degree requires that I write a dissertation in order to finish my degree. Because there has been many questions and concerns brought up by my tutors/professors regarding my current work, I have chosen to write a practice-led dissertation, forming a critical review of my work; primarily, the digital stained-glass style called Shatter.

An integral part of this process is soliciting feedback about my work from professionals in the field. This is where you come in! I would be honored if you would take part in my research by answering the following questions. Please answer only as many as you wish, in as much detail as you can. Your answers will only be published in my dissertation and not elsewhere without permission.

This link will take you to my blog, where much of my current work is featured:

 Thank you so very much for your time and effort!

Please return these questions to me asap (or within 2 weeks) via my email:

lovecommasky@gmail.com

Or here on this post if you prefer.

Greatest thanks!!!!

Shannon/Sky
