The cutest Roman Centurion

Daisy and I have been having toy withdrawal, so we started collecting Playmobile toys. They have a whole Roman themed line, which are surprisingly accurate! We even learned a thing or two from their depiction of a Roman Aquilifer!

Sistine Chapel

After four days in Rome, my feet were killing me from hiking all over the city. I apologize for the terrible drawings in Rome! We were having such a wonderful time, I was exhausted by the time I sat down to draw...

This is me at the Sistine Chapel...

The Silver Fox

For breakfast every day in Rome, we ate at this wonderful Sicilian cafe. There was this classy gentleman that Daisy and I referred to as "The Silver Fox," who obviously ran the place. Sadly, this drawing does not do him proper justice!

Dorkus Maximus


All around the Coliseum (aka the Flavian Ampitheatre, which Daisy likes to refer to as the "Flava-Flavian Ampitheatre), there are these guys dressed up like Roman Legionnaires. I find this funny, as a history nerd, since this isn't what gladiators looked like at all.

This guy in particular stood out to me with his headband, cut off sweatpants and t-shirt underneath his costume. I found him too funny not to draw! (The cigarette was added for dramatic effect)

Statuesque

Goofing off in the Roman forum!
