After patiently waiting for me to draw her profile picture as a part of my Summer Facebook Project, Mrs. Eisel requested a custom portrait from me. Here it is!

I haven’t been keeping on a great schedule for these since we returned for our travels. Instead, Blake and I were working hard to finish up our blocks for Cannonball Press (we got them shipped out on Saturday!) Blake’s looks AMAZING.

Foot Print currently on display at Murray State University I lived for 1 year in Winterville, Georgia in a beautiful house at the end of a dead-end road with a bunch of chickens, a whole lot of quiet, and one of my favorite red-heads, Brian Hitselberger.

No, that’s not Dame Julie Andrews, it’s her doppleganger, Mrs. Charlotte Eisel. Mrs. Eisel was one of my English teachers at Central High School. For weeks now, she has been “patiently waiting” for her portrait as a part of my Facebook Profile Pictures Project. She also requested that I “make her beautiful.” No effort required, Mrs. […]
