I could not get online yesterday but now things are back up and running. This is a post for yesterday. Santa was to be our Christmas card but we never sent any because we didn't finish making them. We have a pile of Santa pictures and other card parts that we have not glued together yet. The other is for a friend of ours to give to her husband for Christmas; the gift is a tattoo. Merry Christmas!

Merry Non-white Christmas

One of my favorite movies is White Christmas (with Bing Crosby) and so far this Christmas season it reminds me of that movie: the part where the guys go to Vermont chasing the gals, run into their old general from the war who is running a ski lodge. The problem is that there is no snow and the lodge might have to close. The guys just happen to be famous performers so they ...go watch the movie!

This is also the first (and only) drawing that I have completed that is entirely stipling. Stipling is what most of us would call pointalism but I read in some snobby art book that pointalism refers to making dots with paint and stipling is for pen and pencil. It doesn't matter. I really like the way it turned out. I would do more but they take a lot of time and patience. I have an F in both.

Shane and Rachel

Shane and Rachel are newly engaged. Shane is a superfan of George W. Bush and the proposal went a little something like this: "Will you be my Laura to George Bush?" She said yes despite her utter distaste for the president. This is their congratulations card.
