I think bold results can be achieved in any medium, though, and that what I'm suffering from is more psychological than it is technical. I overhear people at these sessions prattle on about fancy papers and paints and so forth, but when you look at their work, it wouldn't matter if they were using the best stuff available, it's so bad. Jon Diesta's work *is* neat.
