Author illustration — Just say “NOPE” to all the lies with this t-shirt!

I’ve always been an arts and crafts kind of person except I can’t draw, sew or knit.

But I do have ideas, going all the way back to 7th grade, when I designed the packaging for a toilet bowl cleaner called “Heavenly Scent.” And yes, that predates Heavenly Scents, Inc. by about 30 years.

If you saw my crude drawing of angels circling a toilet bowl and primitive typography, you would immediately think “this guy has a real future… in accounting.”

Despite my limited skills, I stumbled into the graphic design and advertising industries — a long story for another time.

Who would have guessed somebody could carve out a career based on dad jokes and some computer skills?

Thanks to the magic of digital art and online, on demand printing…
