Last Thursday, I attended a taping of "The Colbert Report."  I took two prints of this drawing along with me:  One to have signed, and one for Stephen to have, if he desired it.  ( And that's the word. )

I actually managed to finish this drawing today, which made it even more special to me.  Happy birthday, Michael.  I love you more.

( Magical child. . . . )

I finished a new drawing two days ago.  I'm surprised, actually. . .I only drew three or so in the whole of last year, while I've done two in the last few weeks.  I have the urge to draw another. . .but unless it gets started and finished in the next few days, it won't be for a good couple of weeks.

Anyway, I'm fairly happy with the new drawing.  I'm going to wait to post it, because. . .well, because I'm hoping to get the subject's autograph on a print, and I'd rather said person be the first to see it (not counting my fiancé and the fellow who'll be printing it for me--after what could have happened with my "Rent" drawing, prints seem much safer. . .I'll be upset if it gets damaged, but not devastated).

As to who I've drawn, well. . .let's just say the TRUTHINESS is out there.  (And that is a word; I don't care WHAT my spell check says.)

Finished this afternoon.  Rest in peace, Michael.

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm under a bit of financial strain at the moment.  Nothing life-ending, but worrisome.  If any one who happens to read this is interested in a print of nearly any size of any of my work (minus the watermark, of course), please PM me, and we'll discuss prices.  Also, I am available for commission, though these can take a little bit of time, depending on my schedule for the week.

I finished it the day I went to see "Rent:  The Broadway Tour" in Chicago.
