Whew! Well, after a crazy deluge of traffic thanks to a recent mention on Boing Boing, it's nice to get back to doing what I really love around here and that's to draw and to create. And to participate in Illustration Friday. This week's theme is a rather different one: E is for.... I like that it's a theme that can be so open and be interpreted in any way possible. Nice.
Well, the first thing that came to my mind was E is for Ezra. He's my boy. He's not like any other kid, and I love him so.
He's energetic and all over the place (just ask Andrea). He tromps around the house like Godzilla and is obsessed with balls. With that, can I add that he's got this incredible left throwing arm? It's unbelievable, I tell you. He greets me with the warmest smile and the best "Dad-deeeee!" when I come home every evening. And when I pick him up he embraces me and I immediately melt like butter. I do not want to forget this about him.
Anyway, that's Ezra. He's my boy. And I love him so.
Charming illo!!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet :)
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing and use of colours. Like the Godzilla reference my smallest one does the same but is the female of the species - she's just taken to drawing on walls.
ReplyDeleteFantastic illustration, Ward! As always, it's a pleasure to hear about your family!

ReplyDeleteAnd sorry I've had to start moderating comments now. Just something that probably needed to be done yesterday, but oh well.
Ward, I always like yer I-F posts. I like the close-knit range of colours you put in these pieces - I'm a-try to use this to inspire me on a thang I'm workin' on tonight. Can't be just coincidence I saw this first.
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice. E is right up your inspiration alley.
