The Big Time
This weekend, after much encouragement from Amanda, I took the first steps towards cleaning up my little "art area". Since I am not just a slob, but also an easily entertained slob, I enjoyed going through the stacks and stacks of drawings that I've accumulated over the past several months. This drawing is one of them. At the time I was on a big animal kick. I was drawing a lot of these squatty, "I-was-allergic-to-milk-as-a-child" type of critters. These two (a hippo and an elephant) happened to end up looking like a couple of "made", mafia type of animals, straight from the African underground. I'm not sure why I dubbed this one "The Big Time" but I'm sure that it seemed like a fitting name at the time of its conception.
