Saturday Morning Cartoons: Recollection
I know that it’s a little late in the afternoon for Saturday Morning Cartoons, but after all, it is summer. This is a digital sketch done in recollection of a moment.

This Saturday I thought that I would try something a little different. Whilst I am known for my extremely expressive drawings of faces, I thought that it would be […]
