Creature Challenge

Mara Penny April 15, 2017

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.

Mara Penny February 19, 2017

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.
