My new easel!

As a rare occurrence, I am blogging and bragging about something I've recently acquired, namely, the great, phenomenal Hughes Easel! It has lived up to all the expectations, it really is as great as they all say... it's a beauty and, yes, it's HUGE!



















Hughes Easels patented design, a simple weight adjustment at the rear of the easel allows you to counter balance the weight of the canvas so that it can be moved easily up and down and from side to side with finger tip ease at any time, even when working on a very large piece. I haven't been asked to give an endorsement, I am just very exited about it and wanted to share this with you.

Manifest International Drawing Annual

Prior to being selected for "Selections from the International Drawing Annual 2007", I had "Trying to See" as well as another drawing "Gloomy Thoughts", picked for "Manifest International Drawing Annual 2007: Exhibition-In-Print". More info on this later.
