Learning every day
Drawing the jubilee medal of Saint Benedict was a rather unusual commission and i learned about it as i drew it -- for instance, that the four letters (CSPB) in the middle stand for Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti, the cross of the Holy Father Benedict. You can find out more information here. This goes out to B.B. with my best wishes for the future.

The fact that I thought this was a photograph at first must mean you're doing something right!
