Happy pre-World Cup spring. It's been a while. Check out my colored pencil drawing as part of a celebration of soccer in the Pacific Northwest. It's also a nod to the time spent on the sidelines cheering on my kids as they established their place outside the classroom in a challenging team setting. They learned life lessons. As for their parents, we tried. I was approached by a friend who alongside his wife, witnessed some spectacular matches, tournaments, memorable plays and sideline antics. My drawing is part of a months-long collaboration with Mike Mondello (and staff) of Made in Washington. This blog link is a fantastic synopsis that explains the history of Seattle's contribution to "The Beautiful Game". These days as a soccer nana, I am honored to be part of this celebration. Click on the photo below and you'll find my art work on printed merchandise!
On April 25, King 5 Weekend Morning News had a spread of Mother's Day gift ideas and my merchandise was highlighted alongside other local makers.
Last, here is a line drawing I saved for an intense coloring page. The net needs to be drawn in but i'll let it stand.
