That's a great article. What I love about Anthony's demonstrations and interviews is that he always makes them educational. If you watch the piece from Good Morning America, the first thing he does is start his spiel about the history of the bullwhip. He wants to educate the public and he does it from a very scholarly point of view. He was there to talk about whips and his work on Indiana Jones... He concentrated on whips and touched on Indy. I really like that about him; he is an artist who wants to talk more about his work than the people he's sold it to.
