I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

I definitely won't remember to do an #ArtAdventCalendar every day, but here's a harlequin beetle (Acrocinus longimanus) drawing. It's a classic example of me spend far, far too long drawing details that are imperceptible in the final image.
