"I’m Your Pet"

Another oddball piece, this one is 5 by 7 inches and was done with a mix of water-based markers, colored pencils and ink on Bristol paper.

"Blind Flight"

This is a larger piece (8" x 10") done in water-based markers, colored pencils and ink on Bristol paper.  I did my preliminary sketch a couple of weeks ago and finally got around to finishing it off.  I put my back out shoveling my car out of the snow last Friday, so working on artwork is one of the few tasks I seem to be able to manage.

"False Front" 4.5 x 6.5 inches

This started out as a larger, 8 x 10 inch piece, but I thought the other characters I had added were not working well, so I cut out this piece. It seems we all put on a false front from time to time.
