Texas had a pretty hard cold snap (for us) these last several days. Today is the first day this old bear ventured out of his cave and sniffed the open air. I even placed a couple of 3D things I've been working on out in the sun. BUT during my accidental hibernation, I did manage to draw some small 3 by 2.5 inches gel pen drawings. Back in 2018 about this time of the year, the school I was working for had a Book Fair and the librarian placed tables for his sale books and odds and ends out in the hall near my work room. Over the course of the first day, I heard, "Is there anything for a dollar or less?" at least four or more times On a whim, I made a little fold-able placard that read: 'MR. JONES DRAWINGS 25 cents each or 5 for a dollar' and placed it on one of the sale tables. I cut index cards in half like i did here and made some quick sketches. Over the course of the next few days, I had to draw replacements for the first batch at least 4 times. I had made the kids happy and I'd made myself happy at the same time. Anyway, Original Jones Art still tries for a bit of joy in a world that continues to bury itself in a black void of greed and misery. All the while, sitting in his little hovel in northwest Austin, Texas.
