First item is: the Kenner “Escape From the Death Star” game. Not the best game mechanics if memory serves, but my brother and I played the heck out of this one. Looks like all the cards and spinner are still there, though a bit warped and crispy from basement time.

Trying to share more positive things here, I’ve had this box of #StarWars stuff unpacked since we moved. Let’s see what it has inside…

Resent #figuredrawing work. 45 minute pose in charcoal and white pencil. Three hours each week for 3 years now, I feel it’s really showing up well here.
