Default Just Hanging Around
A caricature of my brother in his uniform of the day... his standard fare... green shirt.... green shorts..... Navy cap with his Corpsman's caduceus on it. We kid him about only owning only green shirts and shorts!.. He says that it saves on laundry!

The carving is a poor take-off of Mike Shipley's "Bobby Ray" from Mike's Country Folk book. It's carved from basswood, stands 4" high and is finished in acrylics and W.B. poly.

Hi Eddy,

Neat little guy. When did you squeeze him in with the belt hangers and all you were doing for the dojo?
