wagonized

11 weeks old

While Nora was taking a late afternoon nap, I was able to do a quick sketch of her after a picture her Papa took with his iPhone :-)

Lime

It took me a few days because of a few interruptions, but I've finally managed to draw my new ride.  I wish it was green, but did you notice that one would be hard pressed to find a car manufacturer that makes a car in green anymore.  Most brands offer two or three shades of grey, a black, a white, a red, and a couple of blues.  So I got mine in black -- because that was the only 5-speed manual around.  Hooray for Chevy for making a fun and practical car.

I got a '69 Chevy with a 396, Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor

No, I didn't get a '69 Chevy.  I'm just quoting Bruce.  I bought a 2009 Chevy.  And the best part is, Obama guilted me into it. I needed a four-door car and couldn't help heeding our president's plea: "If you're going to buy a car, buy an American car".  So I did.  For all the cars I draw, you'd think I would have doodled it instead of the ignition key attached to my key chain.  But I don't know, it's one of those little changes.  No more Honda key.  

And it's the end of my spiral Canson sketchbook.  

After midnight

  

What was I doing last night after midnight?  Doodling the mobile above Nora's little bassinet.  And of course, no sooner had I finished the first fish than she was asleep.  Me, I had to finish the drawing first.
