Freedomwig 2: Now open for business!

One of my favorite illustrators, Martha Rich just began her new illustration/painting project called Freedom Wig 2. She creates a painting a day that she showcases on her site.

Her work has a great sense of humor. I was so sad when she took a break from Freedom Wig (1) but now all is right again in the universe.
