Tracy,
If you can get your creative juices flowing, I want something very simple for my birthday -- a sketch, which doesn't have to be very finessed. It would be reminiscent of the scene in the Shakespearean play, Hamlet, in which he and Horatio are in a graveyard and discuss the skull that might have belonged to a courtier named Yorick. "Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him, Horatio," says Hamlet, as he gazes at the skull. I'm enclosing some images to work from, including a photo of me before you were born. What I would like is a sketch of an individual, that might resemble me, holding up an object in contemplation. But the object is not a skull, it is a crab. The graphic should be suitable for placing in a space that is 200 x 1,000 pixels; It can have an entirely blank background, or a black background, depending on what works.
I know you're busy, but that's all I want for my birthday, and it doesn't have to be tremendous art, just recognizable --but with the crab, of course.
Do you have time to do that for me?
Love,
Dad
