Illustration Friday: "Sacrifice"

Here are two quickies I did today for "Sacrifice".

First, here's a drawing inspired by Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" , which I just read. Nothing like a little future-dystopic fiction to get the creative juices flowing! Anyway, this is "Offred" (shudder) in the Commander's study, getting her Scrabble-and-handcream on (both contraband in this society, of course). For those who haven't read it, she and the other women in the novel are basically living in a constant state of enforced sacrifice.

Anyway. On a lighter note, here's my husband, recent (and continuing) victim of a self-imposed exile: the South Beach Diet.(those are supposed to be french fries, his favorite)

The Worm

Here's a little snippet from what's been keeping me busy lately. This is Jeff, celebrating a sweet find.
