"hey bruce sterling,
"my name is Erik De Nijs and i am the creator of the Beauty and the Geek. i saw your post on the internet and i wanted to let you know that i do exist, the reason you can't find anything from me on the web is because i'm still a student at an art school in holland. a third year student. and this pants is my first project i brought out on the internet."
Greetings Erik De Nijs
(((I predict a glittering future for this alert young man.)))
