Macaroni and Cheese Sketch

Macaroni and cheese sketch minus the macaroni.  Didn't think to sketch some dry macaroni with the cheese.  Joan did that.  Sigh...

Number 7 macaroni and cheese  - minus the macaroni.  The crayon is pretty orange, perfect for this Longhorn style Cheddar cheese (my favorite).  The letters on the colored part should be white but the gel pen wouldn't write over the waxy crayons, did fine over the black ink.

This sketch is in the Canson sketchbook at the bottom of the page with the jeans from the last post.  Micron 03 ink and Crayola crayons in the colors: macaroni and cheese, cerulean, scarlet, tan and brown. Gelly Roll for the white letters.

This is a YouTube explanation by Milton Friedman of how a pencil is made and explains as well how the free market works to help consumers and keep costs down.

Jo's Thoughts (not art) -

I just saw an interview with a Chinese immigrant woman, Xi Van Fleet, that immigrated to the US after Tianaman Square. She is very against Walz. She said, “You can vote yourself into socialism but you cannot vote yourselves out of socialism ."

I agree with that 100%.  You can look up more interviews with her on YouTube.  Think of Venezuela, Cuba, etc.   Free stuff like down payments on houses and student loan payments are not free.  The folks that didn't go to college that work and pay taxes like you and me are paying for the loans of the elite that are now lawyers and doctors ... and congressmen.  If anyone should pay off or forgive their loans it is the Universities that raised tuition when the government "gave" loans to students.

Discussion over for the day....
