Basket of Cheer

Here is another little painting/illustration that I did. What can I say -- I'm loving working on a small scale:)
I did this piece for a 'Get Well' card for my friend. :)

Tea With One's Former Self

Last illustration assignment: Self-portrait in any media/any style

So this is kind of a "double" self portrait illustration -- of me having tea with my younger self. Back in the day I used to dump lots of sugar in my tea, where as now I don't because I'm more healthy:)

Again, just something playful and humorous:)
