Hello, and welcome mr. Ferioli!
A lot of us have been admiring your work since at least 1993.

Ole Reichstein Nielsen was the first to mention your name here on DCML. He
concluded one of his letters with "Ferioli." as if it were some kind of
greeting (like 'Cheerio"). Then, in a letter from 27 October 1993, Ole
writes:

Many things happened since then (9 years ago!).

In the mean time, we know that you are not Italian, and that you have proven
to be one of the best Mouse artists indeed.

And in the mean time, there is no US publisher anymore.

And in the mean time, Ole's "Danish index" has become a part of our
international I.N.D.U.C.K.S. database.

(How time flies. This year we'll celebrate the 10th anniversary of the DCML
mailing list!)
