Mistress Mary

Based loosely on a photo of Miss Mary Hoover, via Shorpy. Papermate ballpoint pen on random scrap of paper (which appears to be what I've got lying around on my desk).

I am not a fan of ball point pen, which is actually why I am using it now, though that only makes sense if you are one of those kinds of people that does things to spite themselves. um, Booyah and all that.... I am even LESS of a fan of the
unibal signo (although I confess, I DO love the squishy bit, It's what lured me into buying it in the first place, stupid tempting space age technology, grrr). I was using that to doodle with all last week (see previous post). For some reason, these silly super cheapo papermate pens give a nice line quality that makes me kind of happy. I always liked them on top of matt medium, but now I find I like them on any old random paper as well. I still love my prisma colors, but there is always that dreadful tenancy to noodle... not that a mere cheapo papermate ball point pen can stop me and my noodling ways. I am unstoppable (at least today I am)
