I am a grahic artist/cartoonist as well. Babe - she really needs A LOT of training and experience with the Adobe Creative Suite Series 5.5 in Mac OSX. If she doesn't, there really aren't many opportunities she can eventually persue... not trying to be harsh but that is reality. I can give you more details if you wish. I understand & empathize with the whole "artist" thing - believe me. I shot myself in the foot many years ago by not listening to sound/experienced advice. I would hate to see that happen to your daughter! Good luck!
