A special thanks to Jeff Moser and Ex_Magician for sharing these inspiring photos of Mom's simply doing what they do best!... In this case bringing up their babies with bicycles as a way of life.

Miss Susie of Style Bubble

Well, hello and good afternoon, my friends!
Forgive me for the lack of a post last night.
i was meaning to do a drawing for yawl last night,
but then my brother and i got talking till the wee-hours,
which was quite a good time,
so this morning i drew this portrait of Miss Susie of the blog Style Bubble,
which is an incredible style blog!
She has some amazing outfits on there.
i've actually been meaning to draw her for awhile now,
but when i saw this picture posted, i couldn't resist. It was made to be drawn ;)
Please check out her blog; it's really great,
and i hope you like it.
Happy Friday!

Blue Bicycle, Wicker Basket, Riding with Emily Browning

(actress: Emily Browning - photo source via melbourne street fashion)

Emily Browning is an Australian actress whom I just adored in 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events'; a movie from a few years back.

I knew I just had to share this charming photo of Emily riding her sweet bicycle with that really great wicker basket. I'm looking for a bigger wicker bike basket like this one now, as Farmers' Market is getting so much more bountiful!

Back in the Day

Oh wow... boy, do I miss the days back a few years ago when i started the Character Sketchbook.
I was going through the old book today, and it brought back so many memories.
It was so basic and simple, with so many accidents and freakish mess-up drawings...
That strangely enough work...

Lately, i've been longing to go back to that place,
so i think i might!
Starting at where i'm at, number #204,
i'm going back to simple pen drawings!

So, i hope you like #13. It's what brought me back to my roots today!
i'm hoping to do an art show displaying numbers 1-200 in order,
within this year... so we will see. i will keep you all posted.

Well, good night to you all my friends!
Thanks for everything.

1000

thanks guys for all the love + support
this marks my 1000th post :)
