Here’s a quick, freehand, digital impression of Heinz Chapel on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, PA, where I got married to the love of my life, Annyth, aka, Zoydenia de la Barca on March 20, 1993. A classmate of ours at the time in the Anthropology Department at American University, Hal Recinos, performed the ceremony. It was a beautiful service, and it marks what remains the biggest and most perpetually revolving turning point in my life. Happy anniversary, Annyth.

A woman from the audience in Flint, Michigan asked Secretary Clinton this question earlier this evening, and I was taken aback. I can’t even begin to explain how it made me feel. It’s such a long story. This image came to mind.

Playing around with SketchBook, just a touch of iColorama, and Apple Pencil.
Yesterday, which happened to be the day after yet another shameful Republican
“Presidential” Debate in which decency and civility were set back at least 100 years, I saw what I’m almost certain was a 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Wagon on Main St. in Merced, CA, and I was quick enough to pull out my iPhone and catch a photo, which I used as a reference for a freehand drawing in Procreate using the Apple Pencil.
