Donnelly, you are one very interesting person. I’m an old (old) reporter and I’ve seen anything covered quite this way. The way you captured these quotes and moments engaged me totally.

Meant to say “I’ve NEVER seen…” But clearly you got my drift(Ing mind.)

That's wonderful to hear, thank you. It is unusual, but I do hope it captures an event in a unique way and draws people in (no pun intended)!

So many important things being discussed I don't know what to say, except thank you for capturing all of it so well. Awesome drawings and captions, even those without captions "spoke". What an important forum. Anxiously awaiting more from you. Wow.

I love how you capture each unique personality with just a few lines and colors. There is an intimacy to your work that instantly humanizes your subjects. Thanks!

Thank you, that's lovely to hear. I try to treat each person uniquely, of course--even down to their body posture and shoes (although from where I was sitting, I often could not see their feet!). And I love your word "intimacy" for me work, it means a lot to me.

I hope gender apartheid is willing to tackle the systemic paradigm carefully designed to enable unfairness. Otherwise it will quickly become a cliche. Thank you for your drawings, they are wonderful!

Thanks! I never heard of the Oslo Freedom Forum before you brought it up. What a difficult thing that people must still spend their lives fighting oppression, in this country also. Thanks for bringing it to us in such an elegantly powerful way through your work.

Thank you, Ursula. I find this conference educates me so much on many countries and thier difficulties that I am totally unaware of. It's an important gathering for us to keep aware of what's going on in all corners. I am glad I can help in some small way.
