My godson – a/k/a “Beef”. Sweet little boy, very shy, middle child. Not sure where the nickname came from, because his diet primarily consists of chicken nuggets and pasta.
This one is a cautionary tale, boys and
girls. I was going to draw Ethan
eventually, but his dad asked me to get it done and post it on his
birthday. Because I’m such an awesome
godfather I said, “Sure, when’s his birthday again?” He said tomorrow.
Struggled with it right off the bat. I couldn’t nail it down, and eventually it threw my entire schedule off.
Before I knew it Drawing Time had overlapped with Beer Time. One thing led to another and
before I knew it again, Beer Time turned into Passing Out Time….
….Around 11:30 I woke up with a groggy drunken
start. And the drawing of Beef was….NOT
DONE! I couldn’t let him down – his
birthday was tomorrow (or today, what time is it?)!
So I had to suck it up and sober up and finish the
damn thing. I resisted the urge to crawl
into bed and make a sorry excuse in the morning. I was also down to my last sheet of paper, so
I couldn’t start over. And I think there’s some food stains on there
somewhere. A hot mess.
It turned out okay.
Amazing. It’s not great, but I’ve
certainly done a lot worse.
So remember
kids: Don’t Drink and Draw.
