...and funky, um, monkey? Or something. What is that little stuffed creature? The chicken is actually a teapot with the mouth being the spout. The other little creature has been hanging around my art room for a long time now. I decided to paint him.

Pepper Pen
Yes, it's a ball point pen. And it actually writes quite well and with a nice feel. So funky, I couldn't resist sketching it. The little metal disk is a strong magnet, handy for sticking it on the refrigerator.
I've let my blog languish though I have been drawing and painting. Danny Gregory's post this morning, complete with a preview of his new book, inspired me to get back at it. We'll have to wait a whole year for it, but I so look forward to holding that book in my hands. So many of my favorite sketch bloggers are represented in its pages.

Sentinel
Let's call it EDM Challenge number 125. After all, a chicken is a bird. And while perhaps not majestic like an eagle, where would we be without them? No scrambled eggs for breakfast, no fried chicken Sunday dinners... Wait, here we go with the food theme again.
OK, I just like the way they look. Especially roosters. And their personalities have given us the word cocky. What's not to like.

A birthday gift
EDM Challenge #97 is to draw a present. This lovely cast iron Japanese teapot was a birthday gift from my daughter Kate. It came with a request to draw and post it on this blog. So here you go, Kate. Thank you for the beautiful gift. I enjoyed the drawing, and now I think I'll go make a cup of tea.
