My latest work

     I created this drawing of my niece and nephew for my sister to give as a gift to her mother and father in law. I was asked at the last minute if I could complete this drawing by Christmas. I had to work fast and there are some things about it I would do differently if I had more time. I also do not have any good drawing materials and had to do it on computer paper with a number 2 pencil. I was thinking about the artist James Hampton who was an African American artist who worked as a janitor and used scavenged materials to create religious art. If he can create something out of nothing then so can I.
