Totally worth it!

If you are interested in character design and/or illustration I can only recommend CDQ. Im a freelance artist with a CDQ subscription and I get a lot of inspiration from every issue. Issue 13 is an especially interesting one since it has an article regarding worried bread. ;) Even shipping to Germany works like a charm.
