seeking Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 a client is insiting i try and make shel silverstein style drawings of her dogs. this is a monumental pain in the ass, but thats not the point. the point is that she gave me a copy of this book for reference. i hadnt really read it since i was a kid, although i do own a copy. i've been slipping. this thing is fucking amazing. if you havent read it in a while, go steal the copy from your parents book shelf. fucking owns.
