So I did some art for an event that Hugo House is holding in August for a zine called Rad Dad. It’s been published as an anthology and we’re hosting the release party.
So for the Dad, I was inspired by Vasant (my husband, for you new followers). This was pretty emotional for me to draw, and honestly for me to share. The image we’re hosting at Hugo House is this:
It’s not just Vasant, but what I think our child will one day look like. For the image of just him, I took away the visible tattoos, although it is VERY IMPORTANT that you know that Vasant has tattoos. Tattoos are cool. They’re just not on his arms or neck. I took away the belt and the shirt, and of course, he’s wearing Smauglock, everyone’s favorite dragon of deduction.
Some of you may not know, but I went through a rough and lengthy miscarriage earlier this year. Just drawing this has thrown me for a loop. But it was good to draw. It feels like I brought one more bit of my heart back.
Oh, and also, here’s what Vasant looks like, just so you know. I’m pretty darn proud of how good it turned out.
Also: my husband is amazingly attractive. Also also: that’s him filming! In Rome!
So yes. That was last week’s art.
This week’s art project is Doctor Who related! It’s about Wilfred and his telescope!
Anyway. I love you Tumblroos. Thanks for giving me the courage to share this stuff.
