Sketchin’ 106

It’s been, needless to say, a very long month.

Feels like my head has been alternately in the clouds and under the ground.

Time does heal and the pain and confusion are less… though my days seem to be filled with so much to do.

I did manage to carve out a little time to revisit one of my nostalgic favorites. Hope you enjoy it!

Buster Crabbe, the king of the serials and the first man to play both Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers!
