Sam! The freshman! I have made him look more like a lady than he does.

And here are some insects that I drew on napkins today. I like them a lot! I think they look a little art nouveau. There are seven:
In the order I created them. This is the first:


Bee!



The second, a beetle-thing. I thought it might be a ladybug, but I think it's some other kind of round beetle.

Cicada! Also Elizabeth's suggestion. I wish this one had been neater - I think it will look better if I change the line quality to make other bits match the heaviness of the head.

I always feel as though I should wrap up entries somehow. I guess I could just leave this hanging.
