Taking a moment to mix things up here with an illustration I'm really excited about! I have been strangely inspired by cement mixers, one local company in particular who has chosen the clean colours of white with teal. I used a slight different shade of blue-green and added my own fun details to personalize the mixer for the birthday boy, Ziggy. Trucks. They are certainly not something I would normally pay attention to, or so I would assume, but having two boys in the house that both rage about trucks, cars, trains, and transportation vehicles in general, I have been yelled out thousands of times whenever one is in sight. Trucks have become a part of my daily life and vocabulary.

I had the idea last year of creating a technically drawn illustration for a friend's son who is also big into trucks. I didn't have the opportunity to dive into this project last summer but somehow this year I managed to do it. I'm still actually in disbelief that I managed to knock it out this year with such a full plate. It was worth it and I'm considering to possibly do more of these, but we'll see :) Too many ideas and not enough time... For now, gotta get this baby printed and framed for the birthday boy!
