Type: Paper Skeleton "Puppet"  (A Birthday Gift)
Medium: Micron pen and marker on Bristol board, threadSize: Approx.  20" x 6"Year: 2009

One of the best presents you can receive from an artist is a piece of their work.  They're not doing it for money, they're setting aside their valuable time to do it, and they put themselves completely into it.  This is exactly what the talented Heather Tompkins did for a special someone's birthday last weekend.  Heather calls it a small gift, but the only small things I see in this gift are all the wonderful tiny inked details in this skeleton and heart.

Just gorgeous.

I hope one day I'm worthy of getting a piece of art from Heather!
