Good-morning, my friends! I trust everyone is healthy and well on the other side of my monitor. After my last BoTB, I thought I’d forego doing mid-month but then I decided against that decision and put one together. Normally, I feature an original song covered by two, sometimes three, artists but today I am using two different songs by two different artists and am asking you pick your favorite. It’s that simple, just state in comments who you prefer and if you’re feeling chatty you tell me why you gave your pick your vote. 😉
Not knowing how I wanted to go in this showdown, I used my A2Z illustration for inspiration and went with two song titles relating to ‘Mail’. I found two new-to-me songs to feature. The first is Letter In The Mail by James Taylor and the second one is Box Full Of Letters by Wilco. I not only hadn’t heard the second song before now but the artist as well. Listen and pick your favorite!
Who gets your vote, James Taylor or Wilco?
The polls close noon (EST) on the 21st. I will share the results of this battle next week in this same time slot, so mark your calendar to check back to see if your favorite artist wins.
You’ll find more awesome battles underway at some of these blog listed below and if you’d like to be included in the fun, then contact Stephen requesting to be added to the list.

I’m joining fellow A to Z Challenge enthusiasts around the globe this morning for my 7th year of participation. For first time visitor my theme this month is quite obviously stated in my post title. Some designs are more sensitive than others and may not be suitable for all audience. Today’s illustration is inspired by Gil Elvgren’s 1947 “Keeping Post” pinup girl. Proceed with caution.
As you might have guess I’m running short on time. Currently, I have this image partly finished in Procreate but I’ll need to share the finished work at another time, so this will give you something to look forward to and for me to share. 😉

I’ll leave with you another new-to-me ‘mail’ song discovery for your entertainment only and it’s apart of the BoTB contes, ‘You’ve Got Mail!’ by Fattburger. I hope you’ll come back again tomorrow for another illustration in Cathy’s Pinup Girls Art Sketch Series.
