what is it?

an apple atop an upturned pint glass, of course!

This is my friend Christina's new cat, Pepper.

I haven't met her yet - except through pictures she sends me, which are very fun to draw!

Some things look better scanned, other things look better in person.

And everything looks different on this blog than it does in my hand!

I've been watching football, or soccer, more lately since Ansel introduced me to his favorite team, Everton FC. Hooray! They have a coach with a very expressive face, and I love to draw him.

Also, a very quick sketch I did of him (looking dapper that day, with a red flower in the buttonhole of his suit) is remarkably similar to another sketch I did of a baby alpaca. Coincidence?

happy new year!
