Heres a link to some of the other sketches I did.

Chilly at A Day at The Plains

A Day at The Plains was chilly, drizzly, and blustery. There were a few brave souls there (we few, we happy few, we band of brothers) Some of us lost our tents to the wind, or clung onto them for dear life. So thank you to those who showed up and came by and said 'hi'. Hopefully we will have more cooperative weather next year  :)

Have you tasted your toes today?

Snapple cap for today says Butterflies taste with their hind feet - gives a whole new meaning to putting your foot in your mouth  :)

As a creative exercise I decided to fool around with some cards this wet weekend.
