| This is a portrait of my brother David. I had drawn a rough picture
of him just prior to this one, and the particular grin he had in that one
reminded me of Peter Pan. So I drew this picture, trying to capture that
quality again. I didn't quite get it. This picture makes him a look younger
than he really was at the time, which I was trying to do. This,
by the way, is one of my rare forays into teeth.

Ah, the horrors of working with ink, once I had that cheek
line done, there was nothing I could do.

| One of my best caricatures. Shame about the ruled paper.
I took most of it out, but you can still see it in the hair.

I'm fairly happy with this, although the mouth is wrong,
as you can probably see.
