The second day we were there the tide washed in huge blankets of brownish seaweed and pieces of driftwood that covered the shore. I fished most of the time and caught sharks and blue crabs... while fishing one day I had to ditch my pole and save a 5 yr old girl from drowning...her mother wasn't even down on the beach and no one was watching her. whew. Thought I would have 2 draw withdrawal while I was gone, but I had so much fun I didn't miss this at all. Going back in August. :)

for Marisa.


arrrrgh. I always seem to forget scrolling when I draw. Oh well... I guess I'm going to have to crop it. : (

Advanced ? maybe... you be the judge:)
Had to submit my back up image.

Winter doesn't really have a harvest so the snowman just kind of walks around in the snow and looks at things.

Choose your own path, which one will you take?

Joan Jett for my very good friend Mandy.

should have done this before, but just to make sure nobody thinks this is a terrorist or that i am a terrorist sympathizer...this should put the painting into perspective a little bit
this is a quote, an excerpt from an essay by insurgent subcomandante marcos of the Zapatistas released in 94

"The oldest of the old in the Indigenous communities say that there once was a man named Zapata who rose up with his people and sang out, "Land and Freedom!" These old campesinos say that Zapata didn't die, that he must return. These old campesinos also say that the wind and the rain and the sun tell the campesinos when to cultivate the land, when to plant and when to harvest. They say that hope is also planted and harvested. They also say that the wind and the rain and the sun are now saying something different: that with so much poverty, the time has come to harvest rebellion instead of death. That is what the old campesinos say. The powerful don't hear; they can't hear, they are deafened by the brutality that the Empire shouts in their ears. 'Zapata,' insists the wind, the wind from below, our wind."

An angel of glass...If it's okay I'd like to request as 24hour period to complete this. My hand is cramping up pretty badly ^^;;

The Dream lives on!!! Yes...after months I'm back and with great pleasure none to say the least! Due to some technical circumstances I haven't been able to post nor draw on this lovely site for too long a time. Any way, ever really thought of what angels may look like? I have. Enjoy! :D
