| 21 Jan 2004 | Nicola K. Baartse | Hi Howard - i love your art. I come back to it again and again. I am now pregnant for the second time and I am having a little girl and I would like to give her a heavenly or angelic name. This picture is so beautiful, it makes me think of her - I would love it for my unborn baby's wall. Do you sell prints? I hope you can answer! Keep up the beautiful work. Nicolaunfortunately, i haven't learned the fine art of scanning...so i am unable at this time to make a decent print. but i'd love to make a gift to your unborn baby girl^^ i'll let you know, if i am ever able to. at this point, only God can help me. | |

| 25 Sep 2005 | Alien | Oh howard, please do make a children's book. Please oh please oh please. You can do it in your spare time, whenever you have any. It would be lovely. And you wouldn't have to worry about terrible scans, because you wouldn't be the one scanning it. Please oh please try. I'd love to keep a book made by you... | |

Howard faria replies: "well, thank you! mb someday, when i can find time^^ brianna was a little girl i knew in the hospital for an operation. it’s a simple story about a girl who was awakened in a dream by a fox, to visit a sick and sad little girl. they enter her dreams and take her away to play in a faraway sunny field, where her spirit is restored. and she wakes up with her health much improved ^^" | |
