I am soooo unsure aobut this one Kathleen which translates to WELL DONE. I keep coming back to look at it again and again. It has some kind of magic or endurance in my mind. Very haunting. (and I wonder how it would look on a black tee???)

yeah that’s just smashing. all frosty and half hidden a-la-mode ‘kathleen’.
had no idea you could do so much with a burnt stick.

would look smashing in ‘negative’ too.

i was mislead by the title though- at first glance thought it said eurodyke. really, i should know better, but i didn’t listen at school and have got an awful imagination.

hey that link is super kathleen. now i can easily make it look like i went to university if anybody ever invites me to a fucking dinner party
kathleen, 6 months ago

i’d invite you mr khan, but as you are in Russia and all… hmmm… seems unlikely… thanks for the comment… been doing so much digital, I cut it back tonight… I am a pretty lazy drawer these days… and all my paintings are not actually finished… slack…
