"Job Security"

This is an honest reflection of the times and some of my personal feelings as I have been trying to support my family and not go nuts!

This is a gift I just finished for my daughter, China. She recently turned eight years old and will be baptized on the sixth of November into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She is entering a whole new world as she makes a sacred covenant with Jesus Christ to serve him and to love her fellow men as he did. I am very proud of her.

A tender thought

I found this sketch in one of my sketchbooks. I like the feeling of tenderness and the sense of personableness Jesus demonstrates. I feel that this was how he truly was. . . willing to talk to anyone who would come to him . . . giving each person his attention and love. . . letting them know that they were loved because in his eyes they were all worthwhile.

An answer to my own rhetorical question

I couldn't leave my last post unanswered. As soon as I posted it, I knew that there was more to the question itself. It's the plain and simple answer: and it always will be.

I was so anxious to make this that I must admit I rushed through the sketch so it's not my best but I think the message comes through. ("If it don't communicate, it ain't art")

Ever feel trapped by bad habits that are hard to break?
It could be like getting trapped in old skin that hardens and doesn't allow
us to change and move out of our circumstances

A little bit of art therapy

Which Winnie-the-Pooh character best fits your personality? Is it Eyore? Is it Tigger? Is it Christopher Robin? . . . .

Well after some consideration I figured out my Winnie-the-Pooh personality type. See if you can figure it out.

                                               

Anybody who really knows me will get this instantly.

But I didn't stop there. I decided I needed to find a resolution to what I feel I inadequate in. The following is my solution:

What do you think?

Can you say Catch up?

Moving has been a daunting experience. It has been a month in Houston and I feel we have just barely settled. But I have been taking some minutes to let my PARKER pens get some exercise.

Poor Job . . . with friends like these who needs enemies?

I've always had something about humans with wings. Designwise it just looks awesome!

This guy is the dark side of "winged guys" like a wizard or dark fairy.

Another one of those instances where I just followed where my pen wanted to go. I guess he felt like something Bogart. . . .
