That was many years ago... trying to get into the swing of it again! Not as easy 20 years later! LOL Thanks for dropping by my friend!

You can start with a self portrait for the most famous limerick man....I'll have to look online to see if I can find some of your sketches.. Awesome

Now there's an idea! People would pay big bucks for a signed sketch of me, by me! Maybe even 2 or 3 bucks! LOL Already looked on line but the dealer that bought them seems to be hanging on to them! Sold them around 1992-93! As I told John, my signed sketched of Neil Armstrong and Sam Walton were my prized possessions! Jacko

My first sketch was of George Washington, but ended up doing people's portraits in oil... until at 25 when my tremors shut me down... Ahhh... the memories...

Seems a few poets here are also artists/painters... one goes with the other! Too bad you couldn't continue... SAD! Big hugs, Jacko xxx
