I took some poorly lit photos of the other artists work at the end during our "show and tell". Although the artwork is not well represented by these grainy images - it is exciting to get other artists work on the blog!
First our guest moderator, Neil Callander:

Sarah is an experienced art model from the Louisville area. She is also an avid artist herself - writing and illustrating her own comics, designing and creating jewelry and clothing, as well as costuming and makeup artistry work for various theatrical productions.

Just for fun here is a link to a search for "Bond Girls" on The Drawing Club's excellent blog - their blog is an inspiration for this one and the photos and art there may help get your imagination going!

This week is Shark Week on Discovery network - on the Lexington KY Comic Creators Group blog we are having a drawing challenge based on this theme. Please feel free to contribute to the CCG online collective if you like!
