Dr. McDowell has created artwork for celebrities and world leaders, sculpted statues of civil rights icons and Motown legends, and even taught Michael Jackson how to draw. He even designed the iconic red jacket worn by the late King of Pop in his music video for “Thriller.”

There is no Twitter account I miss more than Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, with certified bangers like "Whoever filled out a cougar sighting report and wrote "your mother" under the description drop your @ we just want to talk."

The number one advice any & every writing professional can & will give you is this: DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK. You have spent years reading books, watching movies & TV, developing taste to know good from bad. NO ONE GETS TO READ YOUR WRITING UNTIL YOU LET THEM. Trust your taste & write fearlessly.
