[bullseye93412]

You my friend...

If I am given the honour of calling you friend have amazed me!

[StefanGBucher]

@bullseye93412 Oh, you're very kind, bullseye! Thank you so much! :^)

[suckaluckafuckaduck]

you inspire me the most to persue my dream of being a graphic designer u r my favorite artist nd i wish 2 be half a gud as you one day

[StefanGBucher]

You're very kind, suckaluckafuckaduck. Thank you for the compliment. I appreciate it. Just keep making stuff all the time, and have fun while you're doing it. The rest will come in its own time.

[crawbucky]

you must use a LOT of markers

[StefanGBucher]

Yeah, it's true. I go through a a fair few boxes each year. :^)

[blankbanz]

Mr. Stefan you got some kick ass markers =)

[StefanGBucher]

Thank you very much, blankbanz. :^)

[KatVanz]

okay we have talked before and i was wondering, have you been to art college? and did you go on a scholarship, cause if you didnt the school you went to missed out seriously

[StefanGBucher]

Hello KatVanz. Good to hear from you again. Yes, I got my BFA at Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, though sadly not on a scholarship. They were very stingy about giving those to foreigners.

[wlhanisch]

I love everything you do. I have ordered from you website, I own you books. (I had to buy All-Access in both paperback and hard cover). My husband LOVES the Monster book and DVD! PLEASE keep publishing. I always search Amazon by your name first in hopes there is yet another book or DVD or something out there.

PS I met you once at an AIGA gig in Minnesota.

[StefanGBucher]

And hello again! (Does your husband know that you're sending dot-dot-dots to westerly penmen? ;^) Greetings to both of you! And thank you for giving such love to the 344 Empire. A new book is on its way for a fall release: THE GRAPHIC EYE -- Photographs by International Graphic Designers. Just working on the latest cover revisions now.

[wlhanisch]

My dearest Stefan.... If only I was a little older and you my dear were, well how do I say this.................. less of a control enthusiast....

Did my ......... drive you nuts? I only wish we could track and kern on youtube... sadly the closest to an ellipse we get is 3 periods.

[StefanGBucher]

Oh wlhanisch. You're only three years younger than me, but my control enthusiasm IS well developed. Can't argue that. As for your provocative mega-ellipses......... stop it, you're getting me all riled up! ;^)

[MomChinea]

As always, you improve exponentially..slow down a bit!! You make us mediocre artists look even WORSE! lol

You are doing GREAT work..please keep it coming! B.

[StefanGBucher]

Oh, you're much too kind, MomChinea. Thank you! I always feel that I'm going way too slow. If that's how you're wired, I wonder if that feeling ever goes away. (Also, just because I responded to your kind compliment doesn't mean that I grant the premise of your mediocrity. I bet you're one of those self-deprecating people! :^)

[Terry666Craig]

cool, congrats :D

[StefanGBucher]

Thanks, Terry! I'm glad you like the latest drawings. :^)

[Miatintin]

[MajinSayon]

Wow, nun ist Stefan ein richtiger Star geworden. Weiterer Aufstieg ist nicht mehr weit =]

[StefanGBucher]

Ha! Dank Dir, MajinSayon. Ich hoffe, daß Du recht hast. :^)

[thatsmybutt]

what does FR ST R mean? i can't figure it out. :(

[StefanGBucher]

Hello, thatsmybutt. They are sounds that help kids to learn how to read. That's what the show is all about. There are also some vowel pair drawings, and a silent e, but I'm only showing you a few of the drawings here.

[squeakyevil4]

:D i liked the way you made the monsters into the letters but i felt bad for them when you had to blacken them all in :3

[StefanGBucher]

Yeah, me too, squeakyevil4. But the Monsters bow to the higher purpose of teaching kids to read. :^)
