Six Years
Waste Pipe (2B automatic pencil, 6 x 4 sketchbook)
Another Boogie Street anniversary slipped by without my noticing. On the 15th April, the six anniversary of my first post came and went.
A little googling shows that the traditional gift for a sixth anniversary is something made of iron, so I thought I'd trawl through my sketchbooks for something suitable. Quite a lot of things made of steel, but the only subject definitely of iron is this cast iron waste pipe. Drawn in a break from office life, it evidently took me away from my duties for 20 minutes, yet another example of public spending waste.
The subject should not in any respect be taken as a comment on the blog, however. I still find it fun to post things here and it often serves as a stimulus to get some painting done to show you. But not today it seems.

Your humor is in the sixes, as well. May you blog many more, Harry.
Kind comments as always, Casey. I'll keep blogging if you'll keep calling.
Not everyone can make a steel pipe look interesting! Happy Blogiversary!
Impressive that a drawing can look like, well, *iron*.
