Art by the Voodoo Queen

My bride of nearly four years, Jane the Voodoo Queen, decamped to sunny Florida a coupla weeks ago on family business, and I am lonely.

And overwhelmed by housework! When you're just a head, it's rough as a cob, as my grandmother used to say. (She grew up in an era where people in the country had outhouses.) Have you ever tried sweeping a floor with a broom handle in your TEETH?)

Anyway, Jane is an artist, but hadn't done portraits in ages. But has taken up her long-unused pencils and sketch pad this past year and a half, and I thought I'd share the results with you here. All were of actors with notable horror credits. Click on the picture to see it in a larger size.

I like the expressiveness of the eyes in her drawings.

And I like the expressiveness in her eyes--and I want her to get done soon and come home!
