While I haven't picked up my pencils for new caricatures since 2015, it's something I've always hoped to return to. There are still so many legendary actresses I'd love to draw—Joan Crawford, Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Clara Bow, Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Stanwyck, and many others. Hopefully, this gallery will continue to grow with new additions in the future.

🌺 Happy National Gardening Day! A Pictorial

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” — Audrey Hepburn

Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, the glory in the flower,
we find our strength in what remains—
the sun, the soil, and April rains.

“I’m not funny. What I am is brave. Out here in California, I knew as much as the rest of the girls in movies, which was nothing. The difference was I would take any part. I never sought to be a star. I didn’t mind being typed. I wanted to be typed. One of the greatest thrills of my life was hearing a director say he wanted ‘a Lucille Ball-type’ for a picture. Of course, later it was different when they said they wanted ‘a young Lucille Ball-type."
