Being Me and Being You

The following poem by Douglas Malloch is from a book I am currently reading. Since Big Beautifuls® is all about being yourself, I decided to share it with you here:

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley—but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush, if you can't be a tree.

If you can't be a bush, be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskie, then just be a bass—
But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here.
There's big work to do and there's lesser to do
And the task we must do is the near.

If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun, be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail—
Be the best of whatever you are!

Va Va Va Vespa

I am done with the Big Beautifuls® web site. I never seem to get around to updating so I figure this is an easier way to keep everyone up to date on the latest Big Beautiful. I just finished a concept drawing of Big Beautiful Bicicletta (riding a Vespa, of course) for a possible commission which, unfortunately for me right now, is not a go. However, I LOVE HER, so I will definitely be painting her at some point. Ciao!
