So Festy! Page 9
About the Illustrator
Sometimes I wish I was a professional surfer. Aside from the fact that it would be a little tricky drawing on wet paper, it would be a mega fun job. That, and anything to do with Sloths—they crack me up! Are there any jobs that actually involve working with Sloths? ‘WILD SLOTH TAMER WANTED!’ How cool would that be; except, Sloths aren’t really wild, like say, a Lion is. I guess they’d be more like a Hamster, just a lot slower and hairier and heaps bigger and not as annoying. The audience would have to be extremely patient. ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, starting tonight and over the course of the year…’ That would be pretty funny.
Being an illustrator is kind of like being a Sloth Tamer—just different, in so many ways.
