True Story
Added 2024-07-29 04:00:03 +0000 UTC“Joey” may not be Shel Silverstein’s most well known poem, but I’ll never forget it. This is one of my first pen and ink drawings in a long time, because I wasn’t going to give my dad a jpeg for his 80th birthday.

Boy, it's like you never lost your spark with ink pen drawings... wait, what am I saying, you DEFINITELY haven't. Sometimes parents make mistakes when trying to support their kids, but it's nice to have that story to remember; it sounds like you and your Dad are real close. I hope he had a great birthday!
