Weirsdos Come Home
In response to Mall Diva's Christmas card in the last post, Karen writes, "Your daughter Sylvia is an awesome photographer, as well as one hellava graphic artist! Surely she could sell her Christmas card design to any number of snowless-state stationary stores on the numerous exits of Interstate-10."
Thanks a lot, Karen. We are gratified to see that Mayuko Fujino, a professional artist of our cyber-acquaintance, favorited it on Flickr. But when we took a bunch of these cards down to the local used book/coffee shop hot spot, the owner said Mall Diva needed to do fancy handwriting to make them saleable. Whatever. Mayuko Fujino's opinion means way more. I think Mall Diva undervalues her artistic talents. For her, art is just a hobby, but I sometimes think I shouldn't have distracted her from it with all the music stuff.
Anyway, here is a sketch Mall Diva made of her friends and her at Bowdoin International Music Festival, whence she returned the day after Toyplayer and I returned from points west. Enjoy.

Your welcome a lot. Sometimes hobbies take on a life of their own. Great sketch, Mall Diva. I used to draw people with their arms behind their back. Hands are to hard draw at first.
You're welcome a lot, too.
This is the kind of thing. Instead of taking a drawing class and learning how, Mall Diva just says she "can't" draw. Phooey.
Patently she can draw. She would make a fine graphic book artist. Mind you I would settle for being good at one thing let alone two. Art and music? Phew!
I agree, C. J. D.
That's cute. I used to love drawing. At this point I'd like to learn how to use Photoshop because I've got too many other things going on and I can't draw. M says he wants to start drawing a bit every day but he always gets seduced by the Xbox or Minecraft when he isn't doing pharmacy homework. No, I don't mean he's "doing pharmaceuticals," he's studying pharmacy! Although I believe I did see him chatting with Dr. Doo Doo in the hallway at the Netherworld Hotel.
Hey! Learn from the best, man!!
