I love Burger King fast food as much as the next person, but with every bite, I know I’m killing myself just a bit faster.

I’ve watched this great documentary called Circus on the Big Apple Circus on PBS. The amazing performers on the show inspired me to do this sketch. If you get a chance to check it out, please do.

We buried mom today. If there’s one thing that stands out about my common experience with her, it is a mutual appreciation of great food. She was a wonderful and deeply resourceful chef, but she also loved to go out to have a great meal. As time went on and especially after Dad died, we spent most of our time together going out to eat. She would always enjoy comfort foods, and the easier to chew the better. She noted the success of a place by how well they cooked chopped sirloin with gravy and onions with a side of mashed potatoes. I plan to celebrate her memory with that meal often in the future.

So later today (this is yesterday’s sketch) we’re going to say our final goodbyes to mom. She was a beautiful woman in lots of different ways.
This is one of the more successful pieces in the series of animals made of text. In this case, I decided to make a cat out of text. I used Inkscape, imported the silhouette of a cat, and then typed the text on top of it. I converted the text to a path, and began to shape the text to meet the edges of the silhouette in such a way as to still have it be readable. I hope you enjoy it!

So my libland friend Julie asked me to sketch her a giraffe, and I do just about anything Julie asks. In this case, I did the following to fulfill her request:
Try it out with your favorite animal, and let me know how it turns out! Hope you liked it Julie!
