Readers Digest :: 1st Solo Subway Ride

The article's about a parent who came under considerable flack in New York City for letting her 9 yr old take the subway home on his own. Various parents groups lambasted her and likened it to 'child abuse'. while that seems a rather harsh conclusion , I don't think I'd ever put my own children in that predicament , even if they insisted they were ready to do it.

that's a beautiful drawing, dominic. (does one still call such a thing a drawing?)

but god, how sad it is that this should be the case.

lotusgreen - thanks, glad you liked it ,

Yup, half of it is technically a 'drawing' , I still draw and ink everything traditionally and color/render it in Photoshop & Painter.
