Description A commission from my sister, (With a special sister discount. Hehe.)

This is an illustration based on one of her favorite photos of her and Grandpa. He's reading her The Dream Tree by Stephen Cosgrove. And, she still has this book and reads it to her son. I suspect the book will remain in the family for a long time.

I, unfortunately, never got to meet either of my Grandpas because they died before I was born. ;_; But, from what I hear they were amazing dads. And of course I can tell that's true because my parents are amazing as well.

For those of you who've read my comic, May the Rain Come , Grandpa pictured here is the person whose Dog Tags I based Williams' off of. He was in Aerial Reconnaissance during WWII.

Commission Info


Keep reading to your kids, my friends! It's GREAT stuff to bond over.

My mum used to read us stories before bed. Such as Mr. Men, fairy tales, and a really obscure book full of strange stories. Such the The Old Lady who swallowed a fly, the 'true' version of Repunzal and my favourite a story about a poor woodcutter who saves the life of the selfish advisor for the king, a lion, a snake and a gorilla.

That's great!
My dad used to read the artsy stuff to us like Rime of the Ancient Mariner, and my mom used to read us the classics like Charlotte's Web. We certainly got a mixed bag! But, it was awesome.
