Drawing Sent

I finally got around to sending the Malkin drawing to the MLF. It's taken a while to get to this stage as life events have been getting in the way. Struggling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the possibility of a huge move to the USA haven't made things any easier. However, I am doing better and we will find out in the next few weeks whether Denver will be our new home.

I am working on a Letang drawing at the moment, simply because I need to draw my favourite Penguin, to keep myself sane. I will post a photo of it when it's complete. The Pens are dominating the Pre-season games at the moment and are 4 for 4. GO PENS lets make it a clean sweep.

Distracted!

Wow time flies! Yeah.... I know.... no new drawings as yet, well that is about to change tonight. I AM going to get back into it. I've had a lot of family and health issues plaguing my home lately so I'm sorry for the lack of art. I am also studying photography as well, so I have assignments deadlines too... life is busy! Thanks for all of you who have contacted me via facebook and given me the push I needed to get back to my drawing table. Thank you for supporting me and in turn supporting the Pens.

I am sending my 'Malkin' drawing off to the foundation this week, and I'll be drawing and sending the Letang picture sometime soon. I have decided to try and send a drawing to the foundation on a regular basis, maybe one every three months. This will hopefully give them enough for the online auctions and the major auctions at gala events throughout the season.

People often ask me why I support the Mario Lemeuix Foundation. Well it's quite simple. I come from a family that has faced more than its fair share of cancer. My grandfather Frank passed away from prostate cancer, my Cousin Scott has survived cancer and a brain tumor, and 3 women in my family, including my mother, have fought and won the battle against breast cancer. So for me, it's my way of giving back, to help those who need it most.

Bug Begone!

WooHoo! The bug that slapped the skittles out of me has finally departed *happy dance*. I will get back into the drawing shortly, once I pry myself away from my laptop long enough! I have become engrossed in my writing at the moment so the drawing has sat there neglected. But fear not, there will be more soon.

AND THE WINNER IS!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who voted. Below is the drawing off to the Mario Lemieux Foundation for auction. I will keep you posted with it's amazing journey.

Minor Hiccup

Minor hiccup in drawing at the moment. I have a head cold from hell! So while the thought is there of drawing and posting new pics for all to see, it is extremely difficult to do so when your body is trying to expel your lungs through your teeth! Also when I'm feeling like this the mojo just isn't there and the standard of work just isn't up to scratch, so best to let it be. Please keep voting and I'll keep you updated on that project as we go along. So back to bed for me with tissues, and Penguin in hand, and I'll see you all in a week or so.
