Forgotten Flashback: Blizzards are fun! Not… #art #ink #snow

Who doesn’t love never ending snow? In yet another lovely day in the beginning of February last year we experienced yet again another blizzard. What fun!

Hello readers, I can’t believe it is already December! My how time flies! Amongst the Christmas craziness and commercialism that surrounds the holidays, I take great solace in drawing in my journal.
