I have completed a bit more on this piece. A bit of a close up of the paper boat, which I am very happy with. Tossing up whether or not to add a neck and a shoulder with a tattoo of an anchor on it...I might just pencil it in and see how it looks.… Continue reading Paper Boat Girl. In Progress. Updated.

How I Met Your Mother. Season Finale. No spoilers.
So just finished watching HIMYM, season finale, loved it, loved it, loved it. My 19-year-old son summed it up by yelling at the screen "OMG it's happening, it's all coming together!" (we are not quiet reserved people in our house). I think I watched the entire episode with a big silly smile on my face. … Continue reading How I Met Your Mother. Season Finale. No spoilers.

Fashion Sketches From The 20’s and 80’s.
Oh I had to laugh the other day, going through some old school stuff and found my sketches from the subject loosely titled "Fashion". I'm guessing it is aprox 1985.
