43. “Gear Cowboy” was a delightful pop-out for my doodle collection

Slowly I meandered across the screen surface with my Apple pencil and the horse rolled into sight. In the back of my mind I wanted to weave in gears in some way. Then it seemed something needed to drive the mechanism and so a ‘Dudley Do-right’ character presented himself. But I couldn’t stop there. This was no ordinary mount! And soon wings sprang forth to give it a celestial dimension. I especially liked the strong chin and spur.
