A year has passed....

It was a year ago today I lost someone I cared about dearly. A whole year and it still hasn't gotten any easier. I think about him everyday and still have a empty space that I know no one can ever fill. Not only was he my best friend and my family but he was an amazing artist that was taken before his time. Just wanted to share his wonderful talent. Your Crystal-lady misses you, Randy-man.

wrin·kly rhino feet

I took this picture of rhino feet at the zoo one day, thought it would make a rad pic! And turns out the topic for Illustration Friday is wrinkles! Which will make this my first post for it! Yay! Random fact: Rhinos have keen hearing and sense of smell, but poor eyesight, so they sometimes charge trees and rocks, thinking they are threats. That is all.

Camelus dromedarius

Continuing my camel kick, here is another camel pic!

Swimming Camel

I had a dream the other night about a swimming camel....

An African even-toed ungulate mammal

Finally joining the 21st century and this thing called technology I present my very first blog post! Yay! Let's celebrate with a drawing of a giraffe!
