Two things I wanted to accomplish this:

1) draw a shark so I could contribute to a shark themed art show.

2) practice tight registration to make 3 colors.

So, print nerds and everyone else, lean in, notice the blue, lime green, and the magic teal which is made by a combination of the first two. Notice the tiny lines that had to align in the words “pay attention” to become the beauty that this is.

Thank you.

When I was 16 I drove my dad’s truck through garage door. It was early in the morning for me, and as my uncle, and cousin arrived to help my dad fix the door enough so it could open, my dad’s best friend leaned over and whispered this solid life advice:

Pay Attention.

Also maybe don’t wake me too early. Thirty years after this incident, I am back to agreeing with Teen Hope: sleep in. Or at very least, don’t schedule anything before 10 am. Especially therapy.
