Funny story behind this image.

I did this sketch in pencil along with the one

of the man in the boat with the parrot looking at

the island he was leaving for one of my projects,

using Robinson Crusoe's tale of a man who was stranded on an island

(ala Tom Hanks in "Castaway) as the subject matter.

I lost the images, drew them both again, lost them both again,

and ultimately had no sketches to hand

in for my final grade.

I did the painting though, so I happened to get a C in the class overall.

And they happened to be sitting in a folder in my basement with

all of my reference pictures (useless). Whateverrr.
