Here's my latest drawing...Hopefully you can recognise who the gentleman is. He's one of my greatest inspirations..Hint! Send in your artwork if you feel like sharing. I'd love to see how artistic ma peeps are!

Goodmorning Bonjour GutenTag BuenosDias! Croissants and pastries on a pink plate..What could be a better way to start the day? I just consumed the custard one and have to tell you that it was very very good..indeed!
