Mary Pickford

Don't remember where I found the photo, but it was labeled Mary Pickford. I just liked that it was a casual daytime flapper outfit and still stylish.
Last page of my sketchbook.

Frances O' Connor

Was waiting to post this pencil drawing until I could scan it, but I am having no luck with the scanners I have tried to use. So here is a light, hard to see version. Maybe I'll get around to inking it someday.

One of my favorite circus sideshow people, Frances is in the 1932 movie Freaks. If you haven't seen it, you really need to.
