The elephant of my life
Monday, May 11, 2009



Elephant

”I had a vision yesterday” a colleague said. “Are you still drawing and painting and such?”

It was a very long time ago. But I never said that. I simply said “Sure, it happens”.

He told me an idea he had of a rebus that would become one of the company’s values. Could I draw that image?

It included an elephant.

An elephant… Big gray animal with a trunk. Never drawn an elephant in my whole life.

“Yes, sure. When do you need it?”

My brain screamed “NOOOO!”. And I love to prove it wrong. Big gray mass of fat should not control my life.

So I drew him an elephant.

If just everything in life were that simple to overcome.

I didn't know you could draw.

Very nice elephant.

Thank you very much. Haven't been drawing in a long time. It has never been a way to express myself.
