Here is this year’s b-day card to my wife. As usual, it features a primate. He is running a marathon on rollerskates, sporting the same number that my wife will be wearing this November when she runs the New York Marathon.
I was really bummed that I didn’t get as much time as I would have liked to work on this. I wanted there to be spectators with signs, as well as other runners in the composition. Also, I think the monkey could be cuter. Anyway, I was busy drawing caricatures of all the personal trainers at my gym. It was a fun project, but I wish I had more time for other stuff. Anyway, this b-day card was done quickly, so I guess that means I am getting a bit faster. I suppose I better get started on the X-mas card now if I want it to be any good, though. I can probably only dedicate 5-10 hours per week to art these days, now that I’m starting to get more personal trainer clients.
