Pencil, Paper, and a Little Imagination
Surprising, isn't it, that that's all it takes? I've been drawing since I was
itty-bitty. One of my earliest memories was drawing pictures with another
little girl who was a friend of mine. I'm afraid her name eludes me. All I remember
was that I was drawing pictures of two girls (portraits of the two of us, probably)
and I hadn't drawn the noses in. I didn't want to draw them in,
because at the age of five, the only way we knew how to draw noses was to
use a dot. That's right, a dot. And I knew that wasn't right. So, my playmate,
seeing my beautiful (yet noseless) creations, takes
her marker and plants a big, juicy dot in the center of each face. Boy was I
mad. Y'know, it's probably a good thing that I don't remember her name.
*wicked evil grin*
All reminiscing aside, here's the promised artwork. I'll add to it when I have
time.

Klingons
| Eep! This one taught me to keep my mouth shut!
I'd been crowing about my first sale at a convention art show, and my friend
Kay, who was the editor of the Jev at the time asked me for a cover
for the newsletter. By Monday. So here it is -- Mucha Klingon Pronto.

 | Sometimes even keeping your mouth shut doesn't help.
Victor, the new editor of the Jev, asked me if I could draw a
charging Klingon. Your wish is my command, O Great One . . .

Pencil Studies
| This one I did awhile back. It's Uma Thurman from the cover of the movie Gattaca.
I'm afraid it doesn't look anything like her. A portraitist I am not Pencil on sketchpaper |
| This is my most recent study. Don't ask me who she is, I found a close-up of her
face in an upscale department store catalog and went to town.
