This was drawn of a person who was 'making faces' for me - Sticking out his tongue, krinkling up his eyes - things like that. Every once in a while, I get someone real excited who does things like that.

Actually, it really makes my job harder when they 'try to make their face 'funny' ' because they might be trying to exaggerate something that's really a very SMALL insignificant part of their face.

I wish they would leave the Caricaturing up to the Artist. But I don't smother their desire to get into it - to have Party Fun.

I love Play - whether alone - between me and my picture, or with another person who is getting into the activity too.

Did something different today. Since I did something different, I decided to post something different. Today I shall tell you the recipes I made up for Thanksgiving dinner. It was very good. Sugar-free, Wheat-free.

i was just telling my Brother that he was going to get his Birthday gift late this year - because I had bought an adorable card that said: "I blame it on brainfreeze - Happy belated birthday"

Then we got to talking - Our Mother used to keep a box of cards - so they'd be available whenever needed. But there was one in the box that never got used - was she waiting for something Real Special? I had thought the card was just the best thing ever. I tried to scribble out what I remembered of it. Got the idea, but the original was even better.

Who could have drawn that card? Who drew the card I currently bought? Who are the unsung heroes who enrich our lives with such wonderful visions?

Thank you all. Thank you world. It's a good life.

No - His nose did not get bigger. I just became a better Caricaturist.

Recently, this man hired me to draw at his Party. That's in 2009:

He knew of me me because I had drawn him previously. At two different parties. One in 2006, and another in 2008.

It was such fun when he took out the old pictures After I had drawn the new one:
