Are the people on the right (6 yo drawing) blowing party blowers? That’s what I thought at first, but then I remembered back and realized they might be smoking. Times have changed so much.

I enjoy all your work and loved to see your 6 year old self creating creating…

I’m an only child portrait artist who grew up drawing faces and eyes and noses. Adults were a mystery to me and now I know I drew them to try and understand adults. Still drawing at 80 btw. 😎

Liza, as a lifelong cartoonist myself, I appreciate your "cartoon drawing brain" which complements your sense of humor and political awareness. Thank you for sharing your delightful gifts during this time when our nation is crumbling around us.

Like you, my daughter was drawing and creating at 6. She drew and created as soon as she could hold a crayon and paintbrush. We have a self-portrait she did in pre-school that we framed and still hangs on our wall. She's now at Senn Arts in Chicago, and I gifted her a subscription to your newsletter for her birthday last year. She loves anime and manga.
