Colored-pencil drawing of the winking, smiling face of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Michelangelo, whose teeth form the word “cowabunga.” Surrounding him are black-ink “zentangle” drawings, or repeating patterns of spirals, squares, flowers, bricks, and other shapes.

“Cowabunga Zentangle,” my teacher sample for a classroom assignment. India ink and colored pencil on Bristol board; 9” x 12”.
