The Goddess Named Zenaida
George, over at 365: Draw The Line, is such a talented man. And a very sweet, generous man, too!
I happened to email him before I left for Phoenix. I had a question about his work (I thought he’d collaborated with photographer, but I was wrong). We began emailing back and forth a bit. Along the way I had mentioned how much I loved his zaftig goddess, Zenaida. She’s delightfully upbeat and is prone to capering about in the buff. I like that. It’s a sort of self-assuredness that we should all have, and a joy, a zest for life that she possesses that makes her such a precious creature. There’s also her curlicue knees. I can’t, for the life of me, get past those. They are adorable.
Anyhow, long story slightly shorter, George drew a special Lady Z just for me.
Thank you, George!
And now, my friends, do yourselves a favor: bookmark his website. He will astound you with his talent and delight you with the creatures he dreams up. There are bunnies and ducks and there were even drunken rats, I believe. All fabulous! Plus, he’s inspiring. Just when you think you have nothing left inside of you, George will draw or write something that will make you dig deeper within yourself and try just a little harder to make something good of your day.
P.S. I should add that it was also George who pointed out Robbie the Rhino on his other blog (yes, I still want Robbie as well as one of their hearts and a skull — hey, I don’t want everything, I want just enough).
How cool is that? I love the goddess, myself. Especially her knees…

George is rather amazing all the way around, isn’t he?
