Just a sketch


One of the many sketches I did while in Boston. The sea captain on the right was inspired by a gravestone in a small church cemetery. I couldn't read the name on the grave marker due to the erosion of the stone. I could make out that the unfortunate soul was a Capt. Lower on the stone you could read the length of his life, 52 years (no dates) and the simple phrase, "Peg of Leg." That just cracked me up. Made me think of my own epitaph. "Dumb of Head". The other character is just another "tough".

Nice stuff. Sketching. That, and not watching disposable cable tv are 2 things I need to do more of.
