Since it was mother's day yesterday, it seems fitting to post this recent piece I did for the April/May AARP magazine! Thanks to AD Joanna Foucheux! The article was about siblings who may not get along--even in their 50's. And although that doesn't have anything to do with how wonderful moms are, I did manage to slip in both my amazing grandmas into my faux-family tree!
The feuding siblings are also veeeery loosely based on my own
parents--not because they fight, but because they make good models!
Everyone else in this happy magenta-haired family is made up, except for a cameo by my cat.
I formatted my sketches with the help of a previous page layout--the current page/title doesn't have anything to do with Embracing Embarrassment. :)
Joanna ended up going with the 2nd sketch, but requested that the siblings not be getting in a physical altercation and the rest of the family should just be looking forward like normal.
Thanks again to AARP, and a belated happy mother's day to all the moms out there!

Love seeing the sketches. Also love the grand-cat detail!
I liked the physicality of the "altercation" sketch. :)
Beautiful! I love the personality of every family member on the tree.
love it, and the original sketch is also pretty good, it delivers the message pretty neatly
great works *__*
I really like the color choices and the characters design!
