I have been hit by the flu. Sketching was impossible just like everything else was. WOW… what a heck of a time. I can’t remember the last time I caught the flu. I forgot just how “wonderful” it is ….. NOT. Anyway, I am back up and not running, but puttering along. I have uploaded an old sketch of my children’s (and mine) favorite childhood toys. We all could use a good stuffed animal when we are sick in bed so I thought I would share my family’s favorites with you. I hope you enjoy the sketch while I cuddle up with the actual toys until I get 100% better and back to the sketch board.
HIt by the FLU!!!

Erin,Best wishes to you…. I remember I had the flu when I was in the 5th grade… about 35 years ago! I still remember it well. blah-Greg
Thanks so much Greg. I am getting better. I think I may just sketch right now! Let’s see what I come up with.
