For a long time, I have been trying to get friends to draw stuff for me. When it comes to drawing, I am so bad. One of my dreams was to have someone create a line of clip art just for me. I would tell them, "Hey, I need a stressed out octopus." And they would draw it, knowing exactly what I meant. Well, it has happened and I am sooo excited!

My friend Susan and her husband, Scott were visiting us last month while in DC on vacation and during a chance turn in conversation, I found out that Scott liked to draw. Mostly realistic stuff, he said. "Scott's going to do my clip art," I thought. I just had to ask and hope that he would say yes. And he did and I am so excited. The first piece that he tackled for me was the stressed out octopus and I was so excited about it that I came home and immediately silk screened him on some greeting cards.

What's so great about this is that Scott got it just right. I found a font for the text to match and whoohoo! This opened up a whole new world for this girl who can't draw. These will go up in the shop later tonight.
