- In making this video I've attempted, but not succeeded, in approaching the subject chronologically. It quickly became apparent that I had to play fast and loose with that idea on occasion to make any kind of narrative sense. And it is far from exhaustive in terms of who gets a namecheck. I've had to be selective in order to get the broad range and evolution of these publications into some sort of perspective, so if I've missed out your personal favourite please cut me some slack.
The older I get, the more I respect the workaday artists. Thank you for this wonderful look at pulp illustration, a truly underappreciated field.
Hello and thanks as ever for your favourable comment.
Wonderful content, masterfully edited. Your prose is succinct and rendered perfectly. The music track is complimentary. Well done, Sir!
Hello and I'm very pleased to have your favourable comment about the video. Thanks.
@@Ralstro Hello and thanks for the positive response. Appreciation from viewers of the channel is very important to me. And you aren't far out at all but it's the other side of the Pennines - Manchester.
@@Ralstro Hello again, and your comments about TV documentaries is flattering, but I can't help thinking that too many cooks spoil the broth, and I would only get my nose pushed out by a bunch of Tarquins and Ruperts with their own crackpot agendas.
One of the most amazing things is that the lettering on most of those was painted directly on the artwork.
Hello and yes, that seems odd to modern viewers, where it's invariably added by the studio, or if not, digitally by the illustrator. I'm old enough to remember the concept and practice of hand lettering. Different times.
Thank you Pete, pulp illustrations are my favorite.
Hello and I'm happy to oblige.
Cut you slack? Pete, ...to use the kid's term: You crushed it! Great presentation. You never disappoint as far as I'm concerned ....in fact, this edition has enlightened me to many new and interesting covers and bits of printed history - thank you!
Hello again and thanks again. That was a reference to the fact that even if I say these videos aren't exhaustive some smart alec invariably says something along the lines of "Yo dude! You missed John Smith you big dummy!!!!". And it tends to raise my blood pressure to dangerous levels.
This was great fun, Pete. I'm especially impressed with Margaret Brundage earning her place in history as the first female pulp fiction illustrator, and following, Gloria Stoll Karn. Also, I admired the style of Allen Anderson in particular. Thanks again for another fabulous video.
Hello and you picked three of my personal favourites there - especially Ms Stoll Karn. Appeaently she married a rich fellow and just packed work in completely. Pity.
@@petebeard That IS a pity!! Tsk, tsk.
Beautiful video. Thanks, Pete.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation.
A pinup series would be nice. You do great work, thank you.
Hello and thanks.A pinups video is currently in early developmet and as a fan of the genre it will get made. But it'll be a while yet as there are quite a few others ahead in the queue.
@@petebeard all good...
Pulps! A treasure trove of illustration art!!!
Hello again and of course I had to leave out far more than I included.
My husband and I always enjoy your videos. They're really excellent, informative, entertaining, and beautifully done.
Hello and that's really good to know. It's great to be appreciated so thanks a lot.
Thank you for this excellent look at the pulps.
Hi and thanks a lot.
Good to see all this underrated talent finding its proper place, some amazing monochromes hidden on the inside pages. Thanks Pete!
Hello and thanks. There was so much I had to leave out. An astonishing vast collection of almost forgotten illustration.
Now i know i am old, i grew up on these covers and magazines. I really appreciated the look and how i would not only read cover to cover but also feel like it was journey. Thank you for the old memories.
Hello and many thanks for your comment. It's greatly appreciated.
Another well told tale, informative and charming.
Thanks from snowy Vienna, Scott
Hello and many thanks for the comment. And it's been snowing here in the grim northwest of England too, but I imagine it's considerably prettier in Vienna.
@@petebeard And here I'd always heard how lovely the northwest of England was. Is this just another myth, like the blue Danube?
Vienna is not the worst medium large city in the world, and I do like the snow.
I meant it with my comment. You obviously put a lot of work into your videos. Kudos and thanks.
I must say I learned to draw copying these magazine covers when I was a kid. I went in to commercial illustration in art school only to find out that by the 1970s there was not a lot of opportunities for illustrators by then .
Thanks a lot for your comment. Illustration has always been a bumpy ride for the majority of us.
Excellent treatment as always. Shared this with some friends of mine and they loved the video
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. And of course for sharing - I hope they all subscribe.
Oh Pete! You’ve outdone yourself again! Thanks so much for yet another masterpiece…
Hello and I'm grateful for - and overwhelmed by - your praise.
Another marvellous video Pete, thanks again for making my day. Pulps are once again popular, there are tons of reproductions of the originals, books featuring the cover artists, and astronomical prices for the very few original art pieces that remain. I'm even going to sneak a Belarski in my next Dulac book, just for contrast of course.
Hi Albert and thanks as ever. I owe you an e-mail and catch up and one will be forthcoming soon-ish I hope.
Well done! Your delivery, editing, and music really do this amazing art form justice. I believe Asimov once spoke of an editor’s attempt to get him to write a story to fit some cover art the publisher wanted, rather than the other way around. I don’t think that suggestion went over well. Folks wanting to learn more about the pulp days might want to check out Asimov’s first autobiography. Anyway, well done sir!
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation and insight courtesy f Mr. Asimov. In my research for the video I saw that he wasn't the only one. Apparently it happened on an occasional basis and some authors agreed to it. It would be nice to know which ones.
5:24 Pete, I think you may have discovered the inspiration for Borat's mankini! Seriously though, fantastic compilation as always… the pulp artists were an incredibly talented group.
Hello and I had no idea what you were referring to until I took a look and all became comically clear. How did I not spot it? Thanks as always for the appreciation.
Yet again Pete, another top quality video, informative, educational & entertaining.
Hello and that's what I like to hear. Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
Pete as always an incisive overview of an old genre featuring great writing and presentation. Thanks for spending some time discussing the virtues of the monochrome artwork. I too have always wondered who these people were who produced such great works at the beginning of chapters.
Hello and many thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the work on show. With hindsight I should probably have made a seperate video just about the black and white artists. Although I am working on one devoted exclusively to Edd Cartier, and previously did the same for Virgil Finlay.
At 00:02:25, the beautiful bower archway, over the two page spread, is exquisitely symmetrical in its equal balance. And! Doctor Beard, may i wish you happy days of Celebration to you and your family and friends!! Cheerfully and gratefully yours. Gregg Oreo long Beach Ca Etats Unis
Agreed 2:25
Fantastic keep the Good work and give us more🤗👽
Hello and thanks a lot. You keep watching and I'll keep making.
Great video thanks very much very enjoyable l. Have a small collection
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation.
Excellent, watched it a couple of times now, nice to see the hard edges on the line work. I remember the poor print quality of the mags from a while ago. I am from a time before CGI, love the CGI, but it's great to see hand drawn work and the sheer talent of the artists involved.
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of the video. And even in the 80s I was having line images reproduced on newsprint - not the happiest of outcomes. But it's true these chaps really knew how to draw expressively.
Yes! I was waiting for this one! Your deep dive into this collection of artist was wonderful! I like your term “critical condescension” 😊. These images and especially the sci-fi ones inspired me to read and enjoy science fiction.
Are you considering a video for Science Fiction book covers? There is cross over with this content but maybe other artists not included here?
Excellent as always!
Hello again and my thanks as usual. And yes I'm currently working on science fiction art - intermittently at least. No idea when it will appear as it's even harder to put together than this one was but sometime in 23 for certain.
Of course, paperback art is still very much with us today, so I'm not sure where Pete's historical cutoff would be--?
Fantastic visual documentary, the imagery was so rich… I’m just going to have to watch that all over again..
Hello and thanks for your comment. If only every viewer would watch twice...
@@petebeard Twice at least for these lovely documentaries, the imagery is so rich..
Yet another time-well-spent video. With on-going thanks, cheers Mr. Beard.
Hello and thanks a lot for your ongoing support of the channel.
Brilliant. I was. born in '55 but this brings back many memories. Also the art I am most familiar with often grew out of this, but I think you ended this at exactly the right point. I'm sorry, I'm on a very limited income or I'd try to thank you properly.
Hello and many thanks for your continued appreciation. And I like that the channel is free to access for everyone(ads notwithstanding!).
I have enjoyed inmensely this episode. I love to see all this wornderful works of art by forgotten crafters and artists. Very much apprecited of your work, Mr. Pete.
Thanks a lot for your comment and positive response to the video. I'm glad you enjoyed the work shown.
Pete's content is pure class. Every video is a delight; informative, in-depth knowledge about each illustrator, all beautifully presented. It's a pleasure to listen to Pete's calm, composed narrative whilst enjoying the corresponding musical soundtracks.
Hello again and 'thanks a lot' seems an inadequate response to such a favourable comment, but it's the best I've got. Very much appreciated.
I love PULP magazine art covers. This video was fantastic, i loved watching . I will have to watch this a few more times because these artworks are out of this world , some are very beautiful indeed.
Hello and I'm pleased you enjoyed this video. I take very little credit for such an embarrassment of riches and I'm glad you think enough of the illustrations to watch again. And i can't remember whether I've said as much before but I really enjoy watching your timelapse processes.
Once again Mr. Beard, you have got my attention. Informative, colorful and well composed.
Hello and many thanks for your comment. Glad you liked it.
Another great episode. This one is perfect for me, as I've long tried to emulate the pulp style.
Hello and thanks for the comment. I wouldn't have a clue where to begin as Ive never even attempted real painting. Watercolours and ink line was the best I could manage so I hope you've had more success than me.
Thank you, Pete! Hate to say this, but the video makes me feel sad. In too many works I see a publisher's breif (dull like a sapper shovel handle), editor's comments (straightforward like Pravda leading article), and desperate last-night efforts. But... thank you and all those poor guys.
Hello and thanks for the comment. Unfortunately such is life for many illustrators.
Pete , fantastic, as always, thank you. Your very last line in this video is a classic, and says a mouthful.
Hello again and thanks a lot. Pity they weren't held in higher regard when alive.
Great as usual! That particularly noir era stuff is so great.
Hello again and thanks for your continuing appreciation.
LOVE this! What you offer the world in art history and the depth you dig is amazing! Each episode expands my knowledge and APPRECIATION to them all. Esp the ones unknown to me.
Frazetta doesn't fall into this category. But loved what you've presented!! Tnx!
Hello again and its good to know that you - and it seems a fair number of others - have reponded well to this topic. Thanks as always.
Thanks. I look forward to each of these.
Hello again and my thanks as ever.
That house in Weird Tales seem to be the inspiration of Norman Bates' house in Psycho.
Hello and yes that is very similar.
Your videos are always *such* a treat!
My grandparents had a smallish stash of pulps that I remember finding and reading cover-to-cover one summer when I was maybe 12 . Those covers were a fantastic enticement, and I’m sure I wouldn’t have been interested in old magazines without them.
Hello and many thanks for your comment and appreciation of this video, and the channel in general. It's good to know.
I love Frank R Paul and his use of colour. Transports you to an alternate 30's universe. Weird Tales must have been an amazing magazine, what with Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith (THE master fantasist!) etc.al. contributing. The editor, Farnsworth Wright was a bit of an idiot however, regularly rejecting or heavily editing their work. And paying them peanuts for their sweat and incredible imagination put on paper. Such is life. "Genius isn't often recognised in its lifetime!" Another winner Pete. Thanks from Aotearoa.
Thanks again for your appreciation of another video.
I am so happy that I have stumbled upon your videos. They are wonderful and I will watch them all. Thank you! A tremendous achievement and so beautifully done. Bravo!
Im equally happy that you found the channel, and I very much hope you will continue to find content that's of interest for some time yet to come.
Outstanding! Nicely done!! :)
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment.
I'm consistently astonished at the wealth of talent going back in decades past that deserve so much more appreciation. A vast rich history of wonderful art that so easily gets overlooked in this binge-crazy digital age. These videos help to enrich our appreciation of the past. Thanks very much once again for making this series!
Hello and many thanks for your appreciation of this video and the channel. It really is very rewarding to know that viewers such as yourself get something out of the content.
A great video on a great era of illustration!
Frank R. Paul was the guest of honor at the very first World Science Fiction Convention in 1939, which shows his stature in the science-fiction field of the time.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. Mr. Paul is patiently waiting for his turn to appear in the unsung heroes series. Others too.
Awesome video, love this type of art. Thanks!
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment.
Your work is a joy! Thank you for brightening my days.
Hello and many thaks for your appreciative comment. Very welcome.
Wow, another great history lesson, Pete. I've been looking at pulps a lot the last 7-8 years, and I'm astounded by the quality of the craftsmanship, drawing, painting, composition, etc. In your research, did you get any information on how fast these covers needed to be finished? I was especially surprised at the quality of the interior b/w illustrations. As always after one of your videos, I'm saddened that most of these artists are unknown. Always an inspiration, Pete. My week has been made, and it's only Wednesday! 😉🖌
Hi again and thanks as usual for your positive response to the video. Regarding your question I didn't find out anything definitive, although I have a dim memory that one of the artists - which one I can't recall - could paint a cover in a couple of days. What I did find out is that in the early 1930s Edd Cartier was paid $8 for a black and white Shadow illustration. That's now about $170 - and there I was thinking I'd been poorly paid!
All caught up! It really does amaze me by how much work and passion these artists put into their craft! I am always inspired by your videos, learning so much and wondering how to apply it my own works. Continuously trying to place my foot in the art world somehow. I look forward to your next video! Thank you!
Hello again and I'm glad to hear yo're still watching the channel. I really hope it has been a source of inspiration to you. And you could do a lot worse than create some Brothers Grimm illustrations for your portfolio.
fantastic video!! They are so inspiring!! And thanks for making this one!
Hello and many thanks for your positive comment.
A good interesting video. About 6 years ago there was a wonderful exhibition at the NSW State Library in Sydney displaying local Australian Pulp Magazine Artworks from the 40s and 50s. And isn't it interesting to know they called it Pulp ARTWORKS because that's what they were - ARTWORKS!!! Being from the film industry I know the value of storyboards. Lots of fun.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment. I must admit I didn't even know there were Pulp magazines in Australia - we didn't have them at all in Britain.
Impossible to disagree with all the comments...well done sir....E...
Hi Eamonn. Thanks as ever.
Even though pulp fiction bordered on the melodramatic (i.e.corny), there is no denying the immense skill of the illustrators. Pity they were rarely featured on the covers. And all for a dime (later 25¢)! I notice that among the authors L. Ron Hubbard, he of Scientology fame, made an appearance - Unknown Fantasy Fiction @ 9:10. A masterful overview, Pete!
Hello again and thanks a lot. Yes Hubbard was a common author in the pulps before he went off the rails.
Thank you for all your videos. Enjoy this one very much, especially the addition of names of the artist at the top. Only wish I could find more images by William Molt.
Hello and thanks for the comment. It's tragic how many of these talented illustrators are all but forgotten.
Great stuff. Would love to see something on lifestyle illustrations of the 50s and 60s, people like Coby Whitmore, Kurt Ardt and Al Parker.
Hello and thanks for the comment. I covered Al Parker in unsung heroes of illustration 18 and I might have mentioned Whitmore (but maybe not) in my 1950s ASA video. The other name I'm unfamiliar with and will check out.
2:30 If someone told me Frazetta had painted this, I would wholeheartedly have agreed. The shading, pencilwork and hatching are masterful.
Many of these illustrators were remarkable in technical terms. Some not so much though...
The company Redbubble has many pulp artwork for sale on a variety of items!
Another peerless episode of your masterwork video series. Thanks Pete for all of the hard work that you put in to these fabulous presentations (p.s. i'm still watching, but label has changed from mehodgetts to TheMarkEH)
Hello Mark and thanks once more for your ongoing dedication to the channel.
Great video. I loved it!
Hello and thanks for your appreciation.
Excellent vid. Loved the music too.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. It's very welcome.
Very well done! I'll see if I can send some people your way for this presentation.
Hello and I hope you succeed in your mission. The thought is very much appreciated.
I always loved pulp art and it gave me a life long love for sci-fi and fantasy. I grew up to the images of Dan Dare vs the Mekon and later with superhero comics and would occasionally come across knackered copies of pulp fiction magazines. Great days for illustrators.
Hello and thanks a lot for your comment as usual.The pulps certainly attracted some majot illustration talents - most of whom never got the respect or reward they deserved.
Wonderful! Thank you
Hello Carl and thanks a lot as usual.
*The Whispering Eyes* cover is interesting for sure...*The Shadow* TS 4:17 & the one following. The *Weird Tales* are wild in their art w/there own style *THX Pete*
Hello and thanks as usual for your comment and appreciation. Weird by name...
It My Extreame Pleasure to Be # 987 to bid you 👍🏻On This Fine Installment THANK YOU 🙌PETE BEARD🙌 ☮️❤️💪🏼🎨🎨🎨
Hello and I'm delighted by your positive response and torrent of emojis. Thanks a lot.
Thank you. Love your work.
Hello and thanks for the appreciation
Perfect video again!
Hi and thanks a lot for your comment.
My Dad had a collection of many of these, mostly Amazing, Astounding, and a few Weird Tales and Unknown.... he had a wooden box made especially to hold them. I read through most when I was young. Alas, after moving into a new house, the basement where he stored them, flooded and they were indeed pulp.
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation and comment. Sad story though - a similar thing happened to my collection of Mad magazines.
@@petebeard Slightly worse, many years later I popped into a book store that sold mostly used books and magazines and saw an edition of Unknown I clearly remember being in his pulped pulp collection - the price was $600 Canadian.
Another fantastic video! Thank you for what you do 😁🎉
Hello and I'm grateful for your appreciation.
Interesting and enjoyable video!
Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation of this video.
Love this style …
Thanks for your comment.
More _Pete-couldn't-care-less_ info: *Weird Tales* was the home of H.P. Lovecraft (his only publisher, I think), as well as his circle of literary friends (and sometimes collaborators): August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, Ramsey Campbell and Robert E Howard (yes, the creator of *Conan* also wrote horror stories early on). Notable among others of more recent vintage, though well after the passing of *Weird Tales,* who knew HPL (or were friends of Derleth) were Robert Bloch and Charles Beaumont.
Hello Kevin and you have me bang to rights. My interest in these writers (and an embarrassing number of others) is entirely peripheral, and dependent on their relationship to the relevant illustrators. But I'm glad you and others are enthusiastic on my behalf.
Love this art!
Hello and thanks for the appreciation.
Wonderful stuff. Thank you! Will you be doing a follow-up video on the adventure magazines’ illustrations? I would find it fascinating to follow the art over time.
Hello and thanks. That's a good suggestion and I may well take you up on it. But don't hold your breath - there are quite a few others already in the pipeline. So much to do, so little time...
Nice video.
Keep up the good work.
Hello and thanks a lot. I'll keep going ofr as long as viewers keep watching, all being well.
Outstanding!
Glad you like it!
Maybe research Brown and Bigelow Calendars from the 30's and 40's especially woman faces; example 'The Kiss' was my favorite. Also, ack in the 1970's I had 5 in my collection. Another series of cards (age unknown maybe the 30's) that I owned, was sets of 5 and 6 woman with hats cards measuring about 4"x7". I had about 20 different sets, publisher/printer unknown.
I had back then while living in San Francisco an extremely large collection of old books, magazines, calendars, children's books from the 1890's to 1940's,, Illustrated encyclopedias, old cigarette saving cards. and anything else that caught my eye. I sold most of it off in 1981, to go live in the Caribbean.
Hello and thanks for your suggestion and I'll see what I can dig up. Living in the Caribbean? I'm not envious at all...
When it is nice here, it is paradise, when it is not so nice, it can be a nightmare, I've been here for the past 41 years. I am a glass artist, thanks to my collections. But, I want to leave after we sell off most of our things and properties, then we'll relocate in the Pacific Northwest.
this is def one of my art loves, its so well done but also so cheesy 😃 but it did what it was supposed to no matter who the artist, it sold books
Hello and I'm glad you appreciate these pictures. Some of these illustrators were really talented and I'm not sure why they didn't in the main work for other better paying clients.
Enjoyed ♥️
Superb as ever.
Hi and thanks a lot
👍Obrigado. 🇬🇧🇵🇹
Hello and you are welcome.
This is quality stuff!😊
Hello and I'm very pleased you think so. Thanks a lot.
I got there, still young, in the last days of Argosy magazine. These illustrations are wonderful, but I was also checking out the contributing writers. Many of the scifi authors i knew from their paperbacks of the 50s -- but also...Dracula's Bram Stoker and Scientology's L. Ron Hubbard!
Hello and yes they had some of the finest contributing. I used to be fanatical about science fiction in my youth but it's worn off with age for some reason. But there is a science fiction illustration video in progress which will be up some time in the new year.
@@petebeard I will be eating worms and squid and waiting for it with baited breath!
excellent
Thanks a lot.
9:09 authors name at the bottom! lol. Edd Cartier is really fantastic👍
Hello and thanks for the appreciation. I share your opinion about Edd cartier, and that's why I'm working on a video entirely devoted to his work. I don't know when it will appear but it's fairly near the front of the queue.
Bravo!
THanks a lot.
👍
See how this has affected me, that you get not one but two comments! For it got me thinking, what's the difference between pulp art and "art?" Well, all sorts of things, but it comes down to three: the dramatic moment, the need to make an IMMEDIATE impact, and 'portrait' rather than 'landscape' orientation. And in line with that some artists are much more "pulpable" than others. Take Delacroix. The Death of Sardanapalus -- take that slave stabbing the beauty in the lower right corner. Turn them 45 degrees toward the viewer and zoom in till he fills the whole right side of the cover (and that angle gives a great view of her 'heaving bosom!') We change our angle on the expiring tyrant, too, our viewpoint is right at the foot of the bed at eye level, we're staring right into his evil face (and of course the other semi-naked lady sprawled across his bed) Leave out all the rest. Eminently pulp! Liberty Leading the People is even simpler: just zoom in a bit and move the two-gun gamin and the earnest young gentleman in the top hat a little closer to Lady Liberty. The Raft of the Medusa doesn't require any changes at all, just take a portrait-shaped slice!
Impressionism, on the other hand, does not 'pulp' at all!
Hi again and I did consider making a case (visually) for pulp inheriting the methods and principles of the masters of figurative art. But it got too long and unwieldy so ended up on the cutting room floor. But the connection is surely there.
I remember S.J. Perelman's masterly reviews of pulp fiction, in *'Somewhere A Roscoe'*, and *'Captain Future, Block That Kick!'*: especially his observation that _'the wisp of chiffon that separates the publisher from the postal laws has the tensile strength of drop-forged steel...'_ 🤣
Hello and thanks a lot for the comment and the quote. Never heard it before.
Nice video!
Hello and thanks for the comment.
@@petebeard your welcome!
Hi Pete. Thank you for the fantastic videos you continue to produce. Have you an email I may contact you on as I am producing a series of 20 posters based on a early video games in a b-movie style of the late 50s, early 60s.
I am trying to gather information specifically about the application of hand rendered typography on these posters and would appreciate any knowledge you may have on the subject.
Many thanks
Hello and thanks for your appreciation. I'm sorry but I keep my e-mail a fairly closely guarded secret so wouldn't want to put it up in a public space, but I'm happy to tell you here what little I know about this largely unrecorded topic. Of the film poster artists I've covered in the unsung heroes series (mostly - maybe exclusively - European) the majority had the lettering added by the studio, even if created by hand. Some of the earlier ones in the 20s and 30s did their own - at least for the main titling - but it wasn't ideal because if it was embedded in the artwork the would struggle to translate it for foreign screenings. And I know for certain (I've seen some artwork) that it was also quite common practice to produce the lettering on a clear acetate overlay for that very reason. Sorry I can't be any more helpful but in my own researches the 'how to' aspects of illustration print and production is as well guarded as my e-mail address. Good luck.
Many thanks for taking the trouble to reply. One of the reasons I thought I would ask is the general lack of information in this area.
Thanks again and thanks for the videos.
rad.
Gotta love those pulps!
Absolutely!
Well this is an unexpected treasure.
Hello and I'm pleased you think so.
The name of LSS reminds me of Laurence Sterne, author of Tristram Shandy.
Hello and I must say I'd heard of the book but not the author.
1:11 William Tillinghast Eldridge? You mean he's not a Lovecraft creation?
Hello and I don't know but maybe its the same title but different story?
@@petebeard The author's name. I just googled him, he lived (died 1941) at the same time as Lovecraft so I guess H.P. liked his stories and put his name in his own stories. Unless Tillinghast Eldridge was a common name in the area.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you liked it.
Now we're talkin'.
Hello and I'm glad you think so.
