Can't be bothered explaining this one. Just stick your nose in and have a look around. And if you don't know by now, you can do that by clicking on the drawing and then on the green arrows in the bottom right hand corner. Fill your boots.
My middle brother has always been charmed. He was a natural athlete seemingly at birth, a talented artist barely out of babyhood, and never experienced those unattractively awkward physical stages. My siblings and I look enough alike to tell we came from the same mold, but somehow Todd got it just right from the beginning. He is now a world-traveling, multilingual, published author, but he started out as the little brother who still wasn’t a sister but was pretty darn cute. When he was born, my oldest younger brother and I were at my grandparents’ house in Reseda. My mom wanted all of us to get started on a positive note, so she tucked a present for each 
of us to open each day she was gone into our suitcase. I don’t recall what any of them were but I do remember thinking that any baby who came bearing gifts couldn’t be all bad. Todd came to a household fixated on the written word, so it’s no surprise he was an early reader, but it is a bit surprising that he chose a story about an underachiever as his first independently read book. In Jean Bethell’s The Clumsy Cowboy, Clyde can’t stay on his horse, walk in cowboy boots, or earn the respect of the townsfolk. Fortunately for the sad little cowpoke, he finds Daisy the cow and they are best friends before you can say “catch the bank robbers.” I think Todd liked seeing how the other half live.

I'm happy with this one. I hope you like it, too.
You have to click on this drawing to view it. Stick your beaks right in and have a proper rummage around.

A few weeks ago I was going through the registration process for yet another online account. I said to my niece "I've got to think of another password, I never ever remember any passwords".
She said "Use bumhole".
Me: "Bumhole?"
Her: "Yeah".
Me: "Bum? Hole?"
Her: "That way, every time you look in the mirror you'll remember it".
Me: "Thanks for that".
Obviously, I used it.
Cut to yesterday, when somebody was helping me out with some technical difficulties I was having with an online project. They said "I'll just need your user name and your password".
Of all the passwords of all the accounts in all of the world.
Needless to say, I won't be using bumhole for any future passwords. But, she was right, I didn't forget it.
These are her feet. The cheeky bumhole.

The major mistake with this drawing is that I drew the boot whilst it was unzipped and unworn. I should have put it on, zipped it up and then drawn it. That, of course, would have shown a more shapely ankle. I mean, ladies, imagine in a gust of wind your bustle rose to reveal an unshapely ankle. Oh, the embarrassment. You'd be mortified, right?
Imagine how this poor lady feels, a shapely ankle is the least of her worries. Click HERE for a glimpse of something a little cheeky.

When I wrote Circles of Confusion, I did tons of research about Vermeer, the forger Van Meegeren, art stolen during World War II, etc.
I kept a big file of photocopies, thinking someone might challenge me along the way – an editor , copyeditor , or reader - to show that the historical facts I had used were true.
No one ever did.
But now novelists are more often using bibliographies, probably for the same reason I kept my file – to show that they did their research.
In an article in the NY Times published a few months ago, some critics and authors found it off-putting or even vain.
“It’s a trend that is running out of control,” said Sebastian Faulks, the author of “Birdsong” and “Charlotte Gray,” in a telephone interview from London. “Lots of writers use them as a way of showing off, saying, ‘Look how hard I’ve worked, look how clever I am, look at all these books I’ve read.’ It’s a plea to be taken seriously.”
I don’t think it’s a bad idea. Sometimes when I read a novel I want to know more about the facts its purporting to make fiction out of. What do you think?

I want all those shoes but the law states that men can only have one pair at a time.
Sometimes I wish I were a man(=
Great picture andrea. Love the shoes. Fun thing to draw
I can't really read the smaller text either, but I really enjoyed looking at it all nonetheless. This is a really fun, rich, interesting drawing.
Lovely, lovely .. I'm sure I want to stick my nose in, though .. LOL
Hope you're well
Hugs
