For a few months this summer I toiled at a lawn care company, and I was inspired to draw the cast of characters I worked with from memory so my family could put faces to the names they kept hearing.  Originally, my intent was never to show the sketches to any co-workers (I added some humor and didn't know how it would be taken), but I broke protocol one day with two of them.  Surprisingly, they laughed and seemed to like their portrayal.  As a result, Brooke asked me if I would draw her father for a Christmas present.  If you couldn't tell, he is an avid Star Wars fan; Darth Vader in particular, so this is what I came up with.  She sent a text that she absolutely loved it...a few spicy words added for emphasis, haha!  It's nice to hit the bullseye on occasion!

My nephew, Brandon, asked if I would draw caricatures of his sister-in-law and a co-worker he carpools with to work for Christmas presents.
