He's a very talented, passionate guy and as the woman sitting near you will attest to he's funnier than heck! <BR/>He's always sure to let the powers that be know that his presentations are R rated and not for the faint of heart. <BR/>I beg to differ with your assumption that he has an ego and that there are insecurities that lay beneath. <BR/>I have known Mark for many years and you couldn't be further off the mark (so to speak).<BR/> <BR/>He absolutely loves what he does and believes that life is for the living! He enjoys sharing his enthusiasm for creative quilting and does it exceptionally well.<BR/>Finally, I would like to suggest that without having earned a degree in Psychology, we should not attempt to analyze someone's personality. It's unnecessary, callus and only shows ignorance and insecurity on the part of the author. <BR/>I do have a degree in Psych. so, my statement is not without merit. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for posting my opinion,<BR/><BR/>Warmly,<BR/>CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798765044025357223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33441232.post-48024447339622588262008-01-13T15:58:00.000-05:002008-01-13T15:58:00.000-05:00I've been following Mark and his magazine since th...I've been following Mark and his magazine since the first issue--and many of the same issues you mentioned about him have become evident through his blog, his magazine, and his design career. One great bit that I had not heard, that you repeated from Mark, is to use these quilts we make--they are NOT going to be heirlooms. Unless you are a popular designer/artist/educator then the quilts most of us make are made to be used and enjoyed! That is one of the best ideas I have heard from Mark--Go Mark!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04552325647316818726noreply@blogger.com
