"That's me--I drawed my self-fortress!" --quote from a preschool kid (he meant "self-portrait")

I love the idea Steve. As a kid I wished I had a pencil that would make my drawings real-- but then I grew up. And I still wish I had one. :)

Wonderful execution Steve. Love this drawing. When I get rich maybe you'll sell it to me and I can keep it above my work station to remind myself to think with child like wonder.

That quote is adorable and the execution of the image is great. A little Harold & the Purple Crayon...but red!

This looks like it has storybook potential.

i remember as a kid i used to make little forts out of cardboard boxes and just stay inside for hours feeling safe and secure... sometimes taking my blanket inside my fort and sleeping there... pretending there was no one else that mattered... :)

really nice illustration... i wish i could draw myself a fort and wish there were no one again... :)
