Beautiful Monday and more on Colbert

(One of a series of drawings I did of Stephen
Colbert years ago.  At the time
my family was going through 
a lot, and Colbert's
humour kept my spirits up.

Given the times we're living in, humour
is more important than ever -- vital

in fact.) 

Today I worked with one of the kindest, funniest people I've ever had
the pleasure of working with.  What a treat.  She was working on hard,
complicated and dull stuff, and stayed engaged, on it, super funny and
filled with suggestions that worked.  How fun!

Now back to Colbert. When I got into doing Skype drawings (now it
would be Zoom drawings -- Hey! Good idea!), I liked to stop videos,
and draw from the still. That's how I drew Stephen Colbert in the midst
of conversations. It was around the time that I was asked to draw Oprah
live via Skype, and I fantasized drawing more of my TV heroes that way.
Stephen Colbert was definitely one of them.

I like the drawings now -- the energy and the feeling of his intelligence
combined with a superb ability to make people laugh. Enjoy.

Have a loving your life day!
