papillon.

My (utterly) incredible boyfriend gave me a packet of Pigma pens and I've been drawing a lot in the past week. I love the feeling of being completely absorbed in something and drawing tiny things usually does the trick. It helps having a 005 pen tip.

I am thinking I might do a series of these bearded butterflies. Sometimes I don't know who has it worse, men, who are constantly being told how to be a man, or women, who are constantly being told how to be sexy (which is the equivalent of being a woman, apparently).

In any case, the butterfly is nonplussed by either of these ideas. And that's why I like him.
