I asked Nate to do this drawing in my pledge book. He sketched it in about 10 minutes and then took another two years to add the color. That was just the pace at which he worked. He could have finished the whole thing in about an hour, but I’m glad he didn’t. I have fond memories of giving him hell to get it finished. I think it costs me a couple of beers, but well worth it. He put the same “cow” on my pledge paddle for me. Leave a Reply. |
