My sister keeps sending me these drawings.

I think she's trying her hand at digital artistry and is seeking my approval. That's fine. I know what it's like to be a budding artist; It's always nice to hear that you have talent, right? It helps stoke the fire until the self-confidence train leaves the station. Goodness knows I still love hearing how awesome I am. I mean, I totally know already, but please feel free to keep telling me.

With her express permission - and a reminder that she needs to keep her ego in check when the compliments start flooding in - I have decided to share a couple of her best pieces on my blog. These are from a series called "Celebrity Tuesdays." I get one each week from her work address. (She's a civil servant - lots of time to draw.)






Don't know what Justin's doing on the left, but I'm totally digging this first celebrity creation! Now that Robin has his mask on he's ready to hop in the Batmobile and fight some crime. Maybe a crime against art.

Holy shitballs, Batman! What the fuck did she do to my hair?

Next, we have one of the most beloved celebrities of all time:

(This is totally going in the twins' playroom.)

The smile gives it away immediately:

Mister Ed

Don't you love that she made it in black and white for added authenticity? Man, she's good. I'm so proud of you, Katie.

Please show my sister your love. Let Katie know what a talented artist she is and maybe she'll keep creating pieces that move us to tears-- uh, in a good way, of course.
