We had a lovely Vietnamese girl today which was a treat. Though I was a little hard pressed to capture her petite-ness. The first was a fifteen minute pose and the second was twenty-five. As always, my favorite purple ball-point pen.

I should have known better but because I write and illustrate children's books, I will be removing some of my nudes from my blog, or at least cropping them. My website, including my blog, is for chronicling my journey, to inspire young writers and artists so I have to keep it kid friendly. I personally see nothing wrong with nudity in the context of art, but there are some parents, in the interest of online safety, that might have an issue. And when it comes to parents caring about what their children are doing online, well, you can't help but respect that.
