David Mack Mentioned in Joe Quesada's Blog
From Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada's blog:
	The key for me is that if she does want that career in art, to let her know very early that while there are certain tools, there are no rules. Perspective is a tool, knowing anatomy is a tool, but there are no rules. I remember reading something David Mack once wrote about his upbringing and how his mother was very instrumental in his artistic development. What struck me was that if David decided to draw a green and pink sky, she would never correct him and tell him that it had to be blue, allowing for little David to envision the world as he wanted to see it. I just thought that was a wonderful story and a wonderful way encourage a child’s creativity.
