Comment on “Superheroes and Supervillains” for Elias by Bill

Erin, thanks so much for your generosity in creating such a beautiful portrait for Elias.

As his father, I can say that he is thrilled with your work-not to mention the personalized stationery. At the ripe old age of 6, Elias considers himself to be a ‘working’ artist. I don’t know how he developed this idea on his own, but the fact is that he is compelled to make art, something which brings him a great deal of joy and satisfaction. One day, I woke up at 6 am and found him at the kitchen table drawing. I asked him why he was up so early drawing, and he responded: “artists like to work, and I’m an artist.”

We can’t tell you how pleased we are with your beautiful work and with the inspiring effect it has had on Elias.

Many thanks and best,

Bill

I had the same lovey. Correction: I still have the same lovey. It has all its appendages, but only because my mom reattached them all a few times. Also – she bought an extra one when I was a child and saved it and gave it to me for my daughter when she was born. Not rampant tears or anything over that . . . .
