Sketch: Lacy Number

This is a sketch I did several years ago for Instyle Magazine for an article on lingerie.

I love drawing lacy things as they provide much opportunity for squiggles.

My Open Studio Print sale

Thanks to everyone who came to my Open House /Print Sale on Saturday.
It was great to meet old friends, new friends, customers, + several bloggers who I had never met in person.
Much thanks to Sasha, Araceli, Nat, Andrew, Nod, my brother Danny + sweet M for all your help.
  
 Araceli looking '1920s gorgeous' + one of my all time fave "Art Patrons": Anne Lamarche

Leaving for a celebratory dinner and finding that some very thoughtful someone had stapled up some of these signs at the TTC stop across from the Drake. :-)

ps. Thanks so much to Colleen Nicholson for help with my Open House/Print Sale postcards.

With the death of a dear contemporary, it becomes a duty to love life all the more intensely on their behalf, because they are no longer here to do it themselves.”
