Happy Mother’s Day!
This is a marker sketch that I did on a blank greeting card for a friend’s baby shower. They passed it around the room and all the ladies gawked at it. I haven’t been that flattered in a long time.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the progress I’ve made this year so far. It really is extraordinary considering that I didn’t do any artwork for almost a year and I’m working 40 hours a week which I haven’t done in ages. I think the time constraints actually push me to get busy sometimes. There are only a few weeks before my big trip so I think I’ll use the time to be more productive with my artwork. I actually have a few pieces that I need to finish and I want them to be really high quality as they are gifts for some important people.
