It's getting to be that time of year again. Anyone else a little nervous?

An Adventure in Deepest Darkest Sunroom

I fully expect to build miniature treehouses in my potted plants someday.

Is there anything more hated than a clown?

Washer Woman redux

I guess I have a thing for washer women. Don't tell anyone.

catch you later

I was asked to sketch out a few entomologists some time ago for a friend who works for the USDA. They wanted an Indiana Jones type to demonstrate a new bug catching device for African scientists. I gave them some options, but I think the action bugs are probably my favorite. Well, I like the fly swatter guy too.

perched and poised

It's been more of a paint month than a pencil month, so tho it's time to post something new, I had to comb the sketchbooks looking for a post-worthy image not related to what I'm working on. Years ago I made a sculpture of a little princess holding out her hand, ready for a fat bird to be perched on her finger. I never got around to sculpting the bird, so she's spent the last decade waiting. If this drawing is any indication and the princesses are related, then this bird has been a long time coming.
