As regular followers know, I lost my mom on Sunday. I imagine a lot of my remaining 2010 sketches will be influenced in some way by her memory. She was a fantastic cook, and had glorious Sunday roast beef dinners with 6 vegetables and homemade gravy. She taught me a lot about the art of seasoning, and I’ll never forget it.

My son Jack turned 6 today. It’s funny how things happen, cosidering that my mom passed away yesterday, on Halloween, and now today, Jack turns six. He’s just old enough to know what’s going on in our family, and I’m very sad for him, but also, quite proud. He’s doing as well as any of us, and I think he’ll be just fine. The only piece of advice I can think of to give him for the next year of his life is the same thing that he has already been doing: giving his best. I love you Jack, and happy birthday wishes to you.

This is a metaphor for the way I feel about they way we treat each other sometimes. If you find yourself grinding someone down to the tread, please stop. 🙂

This is a redo of an earlier sketch that just focused on the silhouette of a whale, and this time I used the word whale as a basis for the image.

Here is the latest in my text based animals series. Cow-Schmow, she’s a bovine.
‘Bovine comes from the Latin word for “cow”, though the biological family called the Bovidae actually includes not only cows and oxen but also goats, sheep, bison, and buffalo. So bovine is often used technically, when discussing “bovine diseases”, “bovine anatomy”, and so on. It can also describe a human personality, though it can be a rather unkind way to describe someone. When Hera, the wife of Zeus, is called “cow-eyed”, though, it’s definitely a compliment, and Zeus fairly melts when she turns those big bovine eyes on him.’
