View post →This drawing is one of a series I did about issues facing whale populations today. This one is about the entanglement in fishing lines and nets that affects so many whales and other sea creatures. The whales are bound in the nets, can’t come up for air, and drown. Or the plastic lines cut through […]

View post →From the ‘archives’ – this is a drawing I made in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in 2012. I asked the owner of this botanica why people bought his amulets and potions. “For love, and for luck,” was his answer. Sending some of that out to all of you. 🙂 posted by Veronica PS For those […]

View post →As Marg pointed out in yesterday’s post, we just returned from Cuba. I have been fighting a traveler’s cold, and not able to scan too much yet, but wanted to put up this drawing as a ‘bocadito’ – or little snack. Will be posting my drawings and thoughts on the experience on my home blog […]
