I did this fairy sketch in 2017 at some point, I think right before ronin was born. It was one of my “I’m going to forget about marketing and making money and just draw something fun” moments.

Now that my youngest son is in school, I decided to redraw this sketch from 4 years ago. I’ve learned a lot while my kids have grown bigger and the biggest lesson is that relaxation and joy make better art than burnout and stress. I’m going to try to remember that lesson during the temptation to push myself to work hard now that I have a workday.
