Sketchbook work - thoughts on project. Shredded and bagged an oil painting, party popper, tea light, pencil and bank card relating to my dust but this got me thinking about labels. How people label others by the way they look or behave. The Greeks connected physical fitness and good looks with godliness. therefor if you look good you are good!
