oh my i love this illo. such a fun composition and negative space and wowsers on the yum colors and free lines. your new work looks great! you are so dang inspiring, Lope! i especially loved the Panera Bread poster (what a fun project! hmmm, wonder if i can snatch one up in st louey over christmas..hee) and the map, too. i’m happy you’re doing so well, lovin’ your new greenspace and lake and mostly the hubby and baby kicks. (i know it’s gonna be the coolest thing every…!!

I just love this piece of art here. The perspective is terrific, i love how comforting it is. My favorite pieces of yours I think! Sounds like a yummy halloween.
I hate all the economic stuff that is going on, however on the other side it is making everyone be more careful so it is not cool to save money! :) I love that!
