Hey everyone, still here, but am getting over a pretty bad cough right now so have stayed away from posting (i. e. complaining).
Anyway, had lunch with my sister and her family last week at the airport during their stopover at SFO before they headed the rest of their way back home to Maryland. During the lunch I gave my camera and my sketchbook over to my nieces to play with. And Vivienne, the two year old, who has been learning about ghosts and devils from her older brother Sam, drew this monster...
First she drew in the details, then she covered it over as if to erase it. Some kind of infantile coping mechanism? Maybe. The figure hovering behind the monster supposed to be me, btw.

Lili's portrait of me...
Interesting how they both drew my hair in exactly the same way. These are the photographs Lili took...
