Both my boys are into space and it’s a fun past time of ours to draw solar systems. So while we doodled together we thought I’d be cool to draw a comic strip. There would be no denying the theme would be SPACE. I came up with Adventures of Astro-boy. There would be Luna the moon dog, Captain Wes and the infamous Astro-boy Will. They would fight the treacherous Space Toads (going all the way back to my high school days of writing the school’s comic strip) and fly in their super cool space ship the Coffee Cup. My son named it so (possibly because I’m never without a coffee cup in my hand). So we haven’t drawn the whole thing yet. I’ve really only drawn the space ship… But I’m just so thrilled that my kids love drawing and art as much as I do. It’s helping me get out of a super long break from anything remotely creative and artsy. I hope that we continue to create together because they’re inspiring me to be myself again…
