This was a surprise gift for a co-worker who loves her dog like he was her son. I love having a portrait of my children and so I thought she would like to have one of hers.  Here's the result. Romeo - pencil and white chalk - 2013  

Being marooned on an island in the 50's with both models playing Mary Ann and Ginger made for an amazing set at Dr. Sketchy's in Ottawa.  There is an unusual drawing here that refers to the 2nd contest of the night. Challenge: Illustrate how Gilligan would combine Mary Ann and Ginger to make the perfect girl in his dreams. In my drawing it's more nightmare than dream but it put a smile on the models' faces. Enjoy!  Gilligan's Island - 1 min Gilligan's Island - 1 min Gilligan's Island - 2 min Gilligan's Island - 2 min Gilligan's Island - 2 min Gilligan's Island - 5 min Gilligan's Island - 5 min Gilligan's Island - 5 min Gilligan's Island - 10 min Gilligan's Island - 10 min Gilligan's Island - 20 min

For the Birds... The school year is coming to an end. That means I'll have to finish this piece without the children watching. I was almost finished and I hope I inspired many little hearts with these birds. Jackdaw - pencil - 2013  

Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy have joined forces to defeat the evil tirades of anti-environmental polluters. YES!! The theme for May was Super Friends .
