Do you remember me telling you about Katy and Elizabeth Hughes? Katy is a California teenager who also happens to be a blogger, budding artist and writer. She and her mother recently found themselves homeless. When I learned of their story and saw Katy’s artwork, I told her she should consider drawing avatars for people for money. I offered to be her first customer (I’ve always wanted one for my blog).
And she said yes!
Isn’t that the coolest thing ever? I sent her some pictures, described what I wanted, and she did it. She did a fabulous job, too. Go ahead, zoom in and check out the detail. Motorcycles aren’t easy to draw. And my frog is wearing gloves! Oh yeah, I didn’t send her a picture of a leather jacket, I just told her to put me in a biker jacket. It rocks.
The good news is, Katy and her Mom finally moved into an apartment a few days ago. So no more hotels and/or nights spent in their car. Things are definitely looking up.
