Spent all day doing artwork for True West. Finished a scratchboard of Honkytonk Sue gazing back at reality (it's the same color pose as I posted last month, only a scratchboard). Also did a title piece, also a scratchboard, of the Henry Brown gang riding into Medicine Lodge with a big storm rolling in behind them. Decent effects.

Since I left my BBB identity at home over the weekend, I wondered if anyone would take advantage of the situation. I didn't have to wait long to find out:

"By the way, since you didn't take the usual BBB accoutrements with you to Frisco, I spent the last three days impersonating you in Nogales, Sonora. Please contact AAA Bail Bonds immediately. Be sure to tell them you're very, very sorry about the burro."
