O SON OF SPIRIT! I created thee rich, why dost thou bring thyself down to poverty?..."

The above quote is from the Baha'i Writings! I love this quote! God created us rich in the ability to be creative, and to connect to the spiritual world and to put into the world whatever we can to make it a better place!

And here are two caricatures of my granddaughters Phaedra and Bailey as a Princess and Ballet Dancer respectively.
This is my weekly  submission to Illustration Friday! The theme this week is guess what! Robots! 
I thought I take a parenting view with this theme. I'm sure this robot mom is thinking "Time for a nap! Not for the baby, for me!!"

Have a great week!

I think I managed to depict them both in this illustration. What do you think? What is the story here? The illustration below is one I did a few years back for a book idea I had called "Katy Has A Kitty." I still have a lot to learn about story telling in Illustration but practicing helps! My newest submission to Illustration Friday! The theme this week is "Refrain"! Cover for "Katy Has A Kitty". Norman Rockwell is one of my favorite American artists!  He was both an amazing portrait artist and illustrator!
