STITCHES

11 1/2" x 8 1/2" Faber-Castell Pitt big brushes, crowquill pen and Speedball super black India ink in Moleskine A3 sketchbook. In 2009 I had a basil cell carcinoma removed from my nose. During a Mohs procedure my doctor removed the tissue, then a plastic surgeon reconstructed the nose from the side and stitched it up. After five years there is a 95% chance of non-recurrence. Take my advice....wear that sun block every day and become a hat person.
