I've been on a creative hiatus lately for completely unacceptable reasons; I'm too tired after getting home from work, the weekends are too short, I don't have the time, etc. But we all know, when something is important, you find the time for it. Which is why I'm making an honest attempt to get back on track.
My first drawing since last summer...

A Dream Deferred
by Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

Loving Toby Otter's cat collection on flickr.

Cat on a Stump

This cat must have meant a lot to someone - back in the day film photo taking was still a luxury and most photos were taken of people - but this cat photo was a nice find. - Toby Otter

500 Days of Summer

"This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen, grew up believing that he'd never truly be happy until the day he met the one. The girl, Summer Finn, did not share this belief. You should know up front this is not a love story."

Loved it!
