another fun thing about this one is that for most of the time I was drawing it I had it oriented 90° clockwise from how I’m displaying it now.

Ooohhh, I like that effect!

I've been doing a bit of mark making style art on the gel plate the past few days and it's been really nurturing my inner child at a time where things in my life have been feeling pretty dark and dismal. I cut up one of the pages I made and mounted them to some small canvas board.
Thinking of You and Me.
