Nate's Birthday Cake Monkey!

Nate's Birthday present, pen & ink with watercolor.

Sometime back he gave me the idea, the sketch I reposted below.


January:

Nate:
Hee, I have a suggestion but you'll hate me.


Me:
Of course I won't hate you.

Nate:

Instead of a spaceship, maybe a chimp in a spacesuit doing an Atlas pose holding the cake up?

Me:
LOL!
Don't you think that's a bit deep?
Not many people know who atlas was or what he was doing...

Nate:
But regardless, you have a monkey in a space suit.


And so...I later drew it.

Of course it wasn't until about two weeks before his birthday that I decided painting it up would be the perfect gift for him. At least, I hope so!

He loves me...


Ah...the uncertainty of love.


A triptych panel.


He loves me..
The tentative start of new love.


He loves me not...
The insecurities surrounding new love.


He Loves Me!
The joy when love is declared.
