My Mom’s an epitome of care, compassion, love and understanding. When we were growing up as kids, she would show us how to draw. Her favorite lesson was drawing the “Okuko” meaning chicken (no wonder my Pops was always asking of chicken, turkey much later LOL!) meaning chicken.

Getting Your Boss to Approve Designs
I got this blog post by a great design mentor I decided to follow very recently.
As I read through the very interesting article, I was really laughing my heart out.

When I was in full employment, I’ve had to fight, on several occassions to convince my bosses with my design, I was tagged “STUBBORN.”
