This is one of seven sketches you can see by clicking the link above or clicking the image itself. Click through. Please. Once you do, you can see my favorite of the seven. It’s of Mary and John Speidel. The Speidels, as you’ll learn, are “Beard Wearers + Makers.”

Go on. Make a few of your own. It’s cheap, safe fun. Treat yourself.
