always have been doing some form of art or another.
Laura Harrison: I noticed from your website that you do several different kinds of art.

Digital doesn't matter----one may lead to another for a final rendering.

you do it just for your own enjoyment?

in all respects--- A wishy washy approch will doom the career to crash and
burn.

Thomas Haney: Yes, I live in the country, very isolated------so a most peaceful
environment.
Laura Harrison: Anything else you would like to say about your work?
Thomas Haney: Let the art speak for itself, if it doesn't, extra words sure won't help.
