My son likes playing Skylanders Giants and this is what he wants - a whale with arms and legs!

Back to the post...

Has it really been a year since my last post? Well, that's working for a living. A mixture of have-to-do life type things, more interesting want-to-do stuff and I've-been-working-and-I'm-too-tired kind of excuses. But less drawing is less fulfilling so...

A time before...

Of course, as you would expect, my beloved had a life before she met me, as did I, but now and again I feel cheated not to have known her earlier.
