Retro Monday, Memorial Day Edition: This drawing from one of my old sketchbooks fits this day. The very tiny white dog in the lower right was suggested by my then girlfriend. Many years after creating this idea for Memorial Day, it was seen by the terrific AD of Washington State History Museum in Tacoma. She saw her character in my art, for an exhibit about explaining the concept of time to children. She hired me to do several other murals for the museum as well as a very young version of this character. It was so much fun to work on and the exhibit also hired several other amazing illustrators to do murals. Great fun. Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Stay safe in your travels.
