The terrified little fishie


I commissioned Leigh to design my profile picture for my facebook profile. Have you ever seen a more terrified fish. Leigh's ability to generate emotion even in these pictures drawn by mouse on the pc never fails to amaze me.

Click on the image to enlarge it if you want see the actual size picture.

A genie, a race, a show, a castle and a couple of smiling damsels

"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture..."
John Adams - US diplomat & politician (1735 - 1826)
My daughter drew this picture on her PC. In spite of her autism she uses several different software packages without ever having been shown how any of it works. I am convinced that she allready knows much more about computers than I ever will - probably because unlike me she has no fear of them.
Do yourself a favour and click on the image to see the blown up detail: there is a genie, a race and a show complete with audience consisting of winged unicorn ponies, plus a castle with damsels in the towers.
Maybe those children who speak less see more.
