Thanks so much guys! Since newspapers tanked, and I lost my 20 year job there, I've worked my butt off the last couple of years trying to make a go as a freelancer. Not much time to draw, nor work on my cars.
vwcorvette - I draw with pen, then scan it in. It's probably easier to show you than it is to describe it:

I have one of Lesley's works hanging in my garage. I should probably buy another one soon...
Good stuff, for sure!
Thanks :-)
I hope I can score a regular gig doing illustrations again. Worked for a syndicate for a couple of years, Toronto Sun, Toronto Star, but it's easier to get writing work than it is artwork. Currently bugging the R&T guys. 
I saw that you started following me, I'm kind of boring, I'm warning you now. 
Oh and great pictures by the way. 
Plus, you get to travel a lot now.
Those are great Lesley!
Thanks y'all
Nice to see you get the recognition
That's okay blinker fluid, I'm boring too. Unless you like cat pictures.
Hey, I don't mind cat pictures if you don't mind food pictures. 
Do you take commissions?
Yup. Cars, cats, horses, architecture, portraits... pretty much runs the gamut.

When I get the datsun on the road, I may want to have you do a picture of it

I am hearing and seeing evidence they are actually trying to become a car mag again. Hiring racers and drivers. You might have a shot, show em the Dak
Wow great work Lesley. I haven't spent any time on Twitter before but I might have to start watching your...chirps? twits? to see what new stuff you come out with.
Wow! Impressive!
Awesome work, Lesley!!
Thanks guys. Always nice to hear feedback from peers. Now if I could only get my cars running...

A few years ago you agreed to do a drawing of one of my Spitfires. I'm glad to see the window of opportunity hasn't closed yet. But I I need to get my broke arse off the toilet and quit putzing around.

Just substitute RX7, Alfa, Stag for Spitfire and this x 2
You're on two toilets?
