Illustration Friday - "Launch"

I'm excited to participate with I.F. this week! The theme is "Launch" and I realized my Father's Day gift to my Dad was perfect for this topic.

Dad & I launching Zelda II

It depicts my most fondest memory of watching my father play Zelda. For hours, we would sit together as we battled to save the princess, it was how we bonded.

That bonding moment launched my path into loving video games, which in turn launched the direction for wanting to become an artist.

Love you Dad!

  1. I love this! My husband and I did the exact same thing with our oldest son! We'd all sit at the edge of our bed and play Zelda together. I think he was about 4 at the time. Happy memories!
