college years...

I was going through some things in my office today, trying to organize, and I ran across this drawing from college. It was for my Color & Design class my freshman year. Our final project was to create a color image of a fruit or vegetable using ruling pen, which is a truly horrific
device that many universities use to inflict pain and endless hours of agony upon young students (see the second picture). This drawing was just a preliminary sketch/study we had to do in pencil of our chosen fruit or vegetable. I chose a radish.

Looking back on it, there are things I would handle differently. Especially the leaves. They're so stiff, and kind of flat looking to me. The delicate nature of them doesn't appear to be conveyed in the drawing. But, I guess it wasn't too bad for an 18/19 year-old baby college student. Man, time sure does fly.

Dear Ehron,

Some of my family used to live in Germany for years. I visited them there with my mom and dad when I was young, about 4 or 5, and I surprisingly remember a lot of it. My oldest cousin, Ehron, even took me into her class for show-and-tell.

After the visit, Ehron and I became pen pals for a while. I saved all the letters and such. I found this and thought I would share it; its a picture of a unicorn that she drew for me. I think its pretty cute.
