Prepare to be Underwhelmed

Linking up with Cari and the bests for Theme Thursday: Self Portrait

Guys, I sat down last night, much to my children's amusement, and banged this artwork out in under ten minutes.  Be astonished.

Me, circa any weekday, 6:40 am:


And yes, that is the best I could do draw.

My art skills peaked in 3rd grade, which is about the time accounting started looking real good.

  11. I think it's awesome! About all I could bang out would be some stick version of myself (which I might actually like better!).

    Oh and good job on breakfast in the purse! :)

  13. How cute are you?! I love your take on this. It's a good thing I've already seen lots of pretty pictures of you, though, because otherwise I would demand a re-do. ;) You're one pretty lady, Martin, and even though your artwork is awesome, it doesn't do you justice.
