I am really proud of the father/son piece. I took my time and didn't rush!<br />I am a HUGE introvert...like, of the pseudo-hermit kind. I could go for days and not talk to another soul...now I just need to channel that solitude into more illo work and story writing. :)Jenn Bowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06641483659758406883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083304911142911811.post-53896896311383801422013-07-13T21:37:27.610-04:002013-07-13T21:37:27.610-04:00What a curiously, queer style of illustration you ...What a curiously, queer style of illustration you have.
