We started our Thursday night drawing sessions for the year bittersweet by bidding adieu to the incredibly talented Janet Davis who has been working with us for 5 years now. Amazing model and artist and an all around nifty gal, she has decided to go all Lewis and Clark on us and travel to the great American Northwest, land of abundant coffee shops and fish markets, hipsters and billionaires; where grunge is a state of mind and people are very passive aggressive, (especially if you mock their precious whittle baby Seachickens). While sojourning in the feral lands searching for mushrooms and the ever elusive chocolate starfish, she will seek out the guidance of a flip-flop wearing mellow wolverine, who will undoubtedly make all her insanely crazy fantasies come true. We will miss her greatly and eagerly anticipate the earth shattering events that will unfold as she lets loose upon the unsuspecting crowd her witty repertoire of funny stuff that comes out her mouth!
