Artist's Comments

I wish all of you the best of luck in 2009. Happy New Year!

I found this lovely photo of Marilyn over 8 months ago. I am glad the last commission drawing ' pulled ' me back into drawing again. Yay, it's finally done!

I notice that I tend to select photos of Marilyn with big smiles. Her bright smiles brighten up my mood. I hope they have the same uplifting effect on you as well.

Beautiful, May! It has such a strong period feel, too. I'm reminded of those posters of pre-WWII and onwards.

May returns to top form! :)

These film stars from the classic era are still head and shoulders above those of today, and you do them such justice, May, that their beauty and legacy will live on with modern audiences :)

Happy New Year to you May :D
