Robin Jr. is in her Illustration BA program, and I had the chance to take a look at a few of the pieces she's done. Thought you all might wanna see them as well.
She drew the one below to illustrate an article on the Roman Catholic Church and its infamous shenanigans...
And she drew this one...
...to accompany an article on the often unhealthy relationship between big business and universities. Not that accepting badly needed monies is bad, per se, but the freedom of thinking, or lack thereof, is a concern, when money's mixed in, whatever the venue or topic at hand.
And, proud mom that I am, I gotta show ya a pic of my baby girl, Robin Jr as she...
is dressed up a bit like her boyfriend, Tom (who I'm gonna be meeting for the first time in December, God love his heart).
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, you all, wherever you are!
I'm still very much up for Skype-fest trying, but can't until my elderly relative has gone home after the holiday.

For the record, it's not actually about shenanigans! It's about the effective death of the misogynistic "origin of sin" story, because the Vatican wants to make it possible for women to become bishops!! The dark mood is reflective of how the Anglicans view the situation, they are not happy. I guess in retrospect it was sort of drawn from their viewpoint, although unintentionally... I just like dark things.
Misunderstood in my own time.. all I have to do now is cut off an ear and I'll be on my way eh??
Allison, Cool pictures! Even if one of them is misrepresented. I don't think you need to cut off an ear, though. Not now you've put the record straight! Oh, I wouldn't look at the next bit of my comment, you'll be embarrassed.
Robin, I think your baby girl looks absolutely wonderful. She really is very talented, too.
Mothers, tsk.
Such elegant fingers. She's playing that mobile like a violin.
And I'm totally with the treacle reference in the top illustration. For years, the Catholic church has been losing billions thanks to priests helping themselves to communion wine between masses, but since they went with the treacle thing, they've saved themselves a fortune.
Or is that the Moonies?
Whatever — nice illustrations.
