The last pencil stroke has been made. This is my dear friend Dustin or Houd (short for Houdini). I knew when I started my 365 days of drawing that I would be drawing portraits of my dear departed friend and my family that has passed on. His portrait started on day sixty-one. I did not know at that time I would be incorporating the loved ones of my friends as well. You can read more about the portraits ahead here.
A few weeks ago I was driving into the city to run an errand and as I was driving I came upon a man walking alongside the road. He was wearing jeans, hat, long dark coat, had shoulder length hair and was wearing glasses. After passing him and looking in my rear view mirror I nearly had a stroke. My friend Houd! I was sure of it. Without thinking I immediately turned my car around and drove past him, after realizing clearly this was not Houd I felt a bit foolish. My mind thought I saw him walking alongside the road, but my heart knew the truth.
