I think it would be a very good idea…
Mostly I just draw/paint people (and out of those mostly portraits), so yeah, it would do my portfolio a lot of good to have some still lifes in it.
I don’t expect to be a regular updater, but maybe this will get my deviantArt a bit further on the way as well. We’ll see.

(I found it at a party/joke shop.)Brown trousers were easy enough (though I did make them myself) and for his vest I decided to simply sow a large yellow "button" on a sleeveless top - I had to wear the costume for the largest part of a fairly hot day.

I forgot again… clearly; I failed this goal miserably. well, i’d better hurry up and do it, uhm, 3 weeks late?
