I decided to pop into an antique store while I waited on my food order from a nearby restaurant, and I found this cool wooden Upper Deck box. It had Topps cards in it, but not a bad haul for $20. 😎 ⚾️

I just knew we were not going to be able to see anything because it's been overcast all morning. But the clouds said, "Okay, you can have a glimpse." 😃🤏

A special shoutout to my wife on her birthday. 💕 Through the sunny days, the rainy days, the goofy days, the serious days, the laughs, the ups and downs, through our travels, and all around day to day life, we stand strong together. 💪 Happy Birthday wife! 🥳❤️

morning! And good afternoon to my friends on the other side of the clock. 😏 Cheers! ☕️ I'm here enjoying my coffee time as I work in more details 🖌...
Hope everyone has/is having a beautiful day out there! ✨️
Time to get back to completing my unfinished drawings, and I'm calling this one finished. 🎨💪 I will likely revisit it later. For now, it's time to move on to the next one. 😌

Here's my 5 am check-in. All systems still go. Since it's still dark outside, I can't see much, but I can definitely hear the wind and rain. Figured I get my coffee brewed before I lose power. ☕️

Finally scored on a cards and collectibles lot of goodness! 🤩 I think it's safe to say I'll be stuck in the 90s for the rest of the day. See you all when I get back! 😌😎💪

Hair pulled back, determination turned on, I'm locked in and ready to get this drawing finally finished. 👀🎨💪 Then on to the next one....
Have a great night out there!✌️
I added a black background to this. I can't decide if that was a good move or not. I'm still on the fence about working with the toned tan paper, so I'm indecisive when it comes to what I think might work or not.

😎 This book is awesome, and I highly recommend it to any Elfquest fan out there. I think it's cool to get an inside look from the artist/author/creator. 📚 🎨🧝♂️

I've been a little quiet the last few days, but only because I have been finishing my drawings & getting them framed, AND I have been rearranging my drawing area since I was finally able to bring all of my art tables to my house from my parents. New drawings are coming soon! 😃🎨
The aftermath of a

Excuse my "mess". I like to call it my "organized mess." I know exactly where every drawing tool is when I need it. Okay, that's a lie. I am always fishing for a specific pencil like the remote lost in the couch. Always. Ha 😄

We couldn't come all the way to Chicago (from Houston) and not make the 1 hr drive over to Rockford! We had a great time at the Midway Village Museum AND the ballpark, aka Beyer Stadium-where the Rockford 🍑's played! ⚾️ 🧢 (more pics in the comments).

For those who follow along with my drawings...
The wife says to keep going and trust the process. I say I'm not sure I like how it's going and I may want to start over. It's the first time that I'm working with black paper, so...
What do you all think?🤔 Keep going or scrap it?
Good morning! ☕️ Surprisingly, I'm up bright and early. But I feel rested and ready for the day. 😎 Hope everyone has a great start to theirs, and if you're already well into your day, here's to a strong finish. 💪

So when I sat down to draw yesterday, I didn't feel like making a charcoal powder mess 😬, so I dusted the graphite pencils off and worked with those instead. 😃🎨 Thanks for following along!
