This summer was busy and went by so fast! I didn’t get to painting and this month is unlikely to improve ( for good reasons). That said, here’s a pencil sketch of a criminal, a man in a hat and boots, and a wolf.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.
As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
