TOY

The word for this week in Illustration Friday is TOY. My husband and I shared a joke because of his love of cars: "The only difference between a man and a boy is the price of his toys". Also snowmobiles, power tools and an antique tractor. LOL

VIRTUAL GRAFFITI

Over the years!

The purpose was to create a postcard that would display my illustration skills.

What do you think is easier ... turning a young person into an older one, or vise versa?
