The DressOver the years, people have gone to truly extraordinary lengths in pursuit of fashion. A catalog of peculiar gowns would fill several volumes, even without getting into bizarre hats, wigs, gloves, codpieces, shoes, eyeglasses, and all manner of other demented accessories, and I will not so tax the reader except to mention a few highlights.

Ahem. 14 x 17.75, mixed media on illustration board. (rather larger than something this simply needed to be, but I felt like working big.) I like pigs. They have excellent faces. Not a fabulous scan, but there's a limit to what we can do with saturated reds, I suppose...anyway, original for sale, prints available, drop a note or visit [link] for details.
