CD's work area is a small corner in their condo unit. A thin blanket of charcoal dust covers everything; including her once-white laptop. When she's not drawing, this little artist haven turns into her pole dancing area. Too bad her pole wasn't there when I dropped by, it would have been awesome to photograph her while she practiced her routine. :)
