The countdown to APE has begun!!!!

1 month from today I will be in San Francisco, putting my greatest work out into the world. Thorny Grove has come a long way since the drunken night I decided to pick up my sketchbook and pencil for the first time in many years. It was a melancholy night and I'm sure the alcohol did not help my mood. I just stared at the blank sheet thinking, "Draw something, dammit!". And I did. I let my hand just do it's thing and in a few minutes I had drawn a one-eye browed, cigar chomping rabbit and laughed. Then I thought, he needs friends! Before the sun came up, I had 6 characters and notes all over. I'd like to think it was inspiration, or maybe my subconscious mind venting, but it stuck. And here I am, 8 years later, and after a few tweaks, Thorny Grove is now a reality. Great friends, supportive family, an awesome husband and a nudge from a long lost friend helped make this a reality. Destiny? Fate? We will soon see!!!!
