I always enjoyed these two characters, ESTER B. SAGGIN & BLAZE, that I created years ago and sold on a number of greeting card designs. Ester's breast and Blaze's ears were always getting them into trouble...of sorts__(What's wrong with me?). I'll see if I can't did up a few of these designs to share.
I've been doing more and more 'Retirement-Related' commissioned pieces. They're typically given as as a gift from either an individual or collectively from office co-workers. They're very personalized to those receiving them (which is why they don't always make sense to anyone else looking at them), and I have to say they're a lot of fun to create, and the feedback is always rewarding.__The attached is a recent example of such a piece.
These Spring storms that roll through here in the midwest are always unpredictable...but what is predictable is my dog not handling the thunder and lightening in a calmly manner.
I battled a nasty respiratory cold all weekend, which limited my fun. But that doesn't mean I don't hope you tore it up and had a blast with good friends. Party for those who can't :-)
As a teenager of the 70's, I will forever hold a special place in my heart for the elevator shoes, silk shirts and such that we wore with such pride...only to deny later in life that we would ever have worn such a thing. __ The female dog's outfit on the other hand...is timeless (or just sad, ha).
