CafePress Curtain

As mentioned in a previous post, I ordered a curtain from CafePress.com, printed with a drawing from the Tuesday night drawing group. When it arrived, it was the wrong size. It was supposed to be a chenile privacy curtain, but instead it was a smaller, polyester shower curtain. I emailed CafePress and they had the perfect response: Sorry, our fault, we'll ship the correct product to you, no need to return the shower curtain.

I was already a big fan of CafePress. Now I'm even more impressed.

You can't tell from the poor lighting, but the image quality is really good,
considering the image resolution is 72 pixels per inch.

Rosetta is more into red rubber balls than art, but I don't take it personally.
You can tell it's high-class art because it includes a Shakespeare quote from King Lear.

Drawing From Memory

After posting some drawings from last Tuesday's drawing group (the February 13 post), I decided to redraw the model from memory, using a more stylized, less stressful drawing approach. With Photoshop I added a parchment texture (from an ancient manuscript in the British Library) and then added a few highlights.

Baby and Puppy

One of our favorite models (8 months pregnant now) posed for our drawing group last night. We may get one more session with her in early March before her baby arrives.

We also had three drawing group newcomers join us for the first time, and we all got to meet the new Argos Gallery puppy (bottom of page).

Yep, she's definitely preggers.
