The Gnome

Here's a (relatively) recent drawing that is only now making its way online:

In one of the later Harry Potter books, an unfortunate garden gnome is captured by some of the Weasley children and transformed into a very grumpy Christmas tree ornament.  This was a request from a friend of mine and the first drawing I've done in pencil in a rather long time.  

And so it begins....

Well crud.  Now I have a blog.

Can't say that I ever really wanted a blog, though I'm sure that if you'd offered me one when I was a child (long ago in the days before flying cars and subcutaneous answering machines), I'm sure that I would have wanted one desperately, believing a blog to be some sort of exotic creature along the lines of a dragon or hedgehog....

But now I know better.

And yet here I am.

My old website is going to be disappearing soon, so I'm going to be trying out alternative content publishing methods, i.e., finding different places to put stuff like this:

The idea is that I'll be putting new stuff here along with whatever earthshaking opinions or observations I can't keep to myself. 

Older drawings I'll be moving HERE.

And, as always, a lot of my good stuff can be found HERE.
