Tyleet was one of my favorite characters from the comic book series “Elfquest:”
A whimsical “self-portrait,” just for fun:
My horse Stormy, my half-wolf Lakota, and my iguana Khismet all made it into the scene.
I did this one just a few weeks before I met Steve for the first time. Foreshadowing?
This next one was a paid job…sorta. One of Steve’s friends opened a bar (of course) in Anza called “The Wild Rose Saloon.” It had kareoke and a dance floor and sometimes a band, and that was our hangout on the weekends, for the several months that it stayed open. Steve’s friend’s bar did a hopping business, but he was a little fuzzy on that whole paying-his-bills-and-rent issue. Anyway.

Here’s one that I did for a friend of my sister who was into gargoyles:
And one of the very few projects I did after Elizabeth was born:

Wordless Wednesday and Love Thursday are coming up, so I’ll probably get back to the retrospective on Friday.
