Right now, I do not have any money to watch .. thus perhaps why mine is in two pieces separate from each other ... sooner or later ... I will once again have a bit of money ... but until then ...

I have lazy eye so I use only one eye to see which means I have no depth perception ... that in itself makes for one clumsy person ... I can guess ... sometimes my guesses are spot on ... while other times I may be inches or yards out of measurement ... I have a very unique vision of everything that is uniquely me.

This extreme cold weather we are having here in the Houston Texas area is making me feel somewhat confined ... [inside the house where it is warmer!] ... and being negative is not something I want to be or do ... so ... I went looking for ways to make my weather induced confinement into something positive and productive for my art career. First came the drawing ... I love my
