Creature Challenge

My boy challenged me to illustrate a creature that he likes to draw.  He's into monsters, sea serpents, dragons and toothy dinosaurs.  Basically anything with claws and fangs.

Here you go, son. This one's for you.

I do love a good MATS course. The latest was a children's book class. My subject was Junko Tabei, the first woman to climb Mt. Everest.

My country feels foreign to me, yet I feel more patriotic than ever.

There are 65,844,610 Americans that share my sentiment.

We will continue to speak up.  We will continue to fight back.  

United we stand.
