Bill Zeman is an illustrator whose very cute blog operates on a simple concept: His 4-year-old daughter tells him what to draw, he draws it, and she critiques it. He’s been doing it since she was two. Some samples:
X-Ray T-Rex
The Brief: A dinosaur in a X-Ray
The Critique: I just want to see a little mousey in his tummy
Job Status: Approved (after addition of mousey)
Additional Comments: That’s what kind of bones dogs like to chew on. Dinosaur leg bones.
Bone Dinosaur Eating a Baby
The Brief: A bone dinosaur eating a little baby
The Critique: No! A baby dinosaur!
Job Status: Rejected
Additional Comments: He’s just going to be nice to that baby he’s got in his mouth
Much, much more here.
That is amazing.
I’m going to write a movie wherein all the dialogue is based on things 4-year-olds say.
Gets a 9/10 for being cute.
I can look at it now and I think it’s funny, but at one point I had a job where my boss was just like that little kid.
So much like a real art director. Scary.
Hilarious!
Dear Erica,
Thank you for this. Thank you.
