At Play in the Fields of the Lord

When I was four years old, I drew cartoons. I would often draw funny cartoons that made me giggle selfishly.

When I was six, I learned handwriting in between drawing my cartoons.

When I was fifteen, I learned how to draft orthographic views using a 2H pencil, a compass and a triangle.

When I was eighteen, I learned how to program in LOGO, feeding coordinates to a little pixelated turtle that drew pixelated pictures on a pixelated computer screen.

When I was thirty, I was knee-deep in Photoshopped bitmaps and vector drawings.

Now, one of my dear clients has given me the opportunity to come up with original cartoons and scenarios. I have been given the opportunity to sit quietly and sketch, and think, and use my twisted, sarcastic mind to come up with oodles of ideas. I have been given the opportunity to giggle selfishly again.

Thank you, God, for these new moments.
