I am thankful for so many things, and also struggling with so many things. I know we all are. For me, music helps. Dancing helps. Working out helps. Hugging myContinue reading “Quarantine art club”

Like many, many people, I grew up watching “The Carol Burnett Show”.

Every morning is a good morning.
I pass this guy every morning on my walk through Gastown to the studio. He is always so cheerful and greets everyone, even if they don’t return it. I did a quick memory sketch of him in colerase, then inked it with Pentel brush pen.
