It’s August 9th again!
Yesterday Steve and I got some boxes out of storage and I’ve been slowly sorting through them. I wanted to share this image I found with you.
It’s one of the first illustrations I did as an adult (I was 29). At the time I was working as a graphic design assistant in Illinois, and on my break one day started a portrait of our little family using Adobe Illustrator. I got so into it that I asked if I could take a “vacation day” and spent the rest of my work day (unpaid) finishing this illustration.
My boss at the time, Kathy Lay Burrows, took a look over my shoulder late in the afternoon when I was nearly done. She smiled, and said: “It’s too perfect and that’s all I’m going to say about it!” She ambled away chuckling, leaving me to figure out what she meant.
It took me a minute before I understood what I needed to do: muss up Batman’s hair and untie one of his shoelaces, making him a bit more human (since he really was my four-year-old son Christer and not a real superhero).

Finally having a minute to look at your blog and oh so fun drawings, etc. I loved the chicken video.too. So adorable. Am really enjoying the playfulness of all the sweet animals. Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to get started on the classes I ordered. Love the 365 Class we are doing now. It has been a blessing in all the uncertainty we are living in right now. It totally gets my mind off of it all while playing in Art. Sure hope you back is feeling better.
