An exciting week at my studio.  My very first intern.  This seems like a seminal moment for any illustrator; when the hard working veteran can finally outsource the mundane tasks of running errands to the art store, doing research online, or picking up a book at the library to a young, eager busy-body.  Of course, as you’ll notice in this photo, I think mine has already taken over.  It’s one thing to be helpful, another thing altogether to SPEND ALL DAY SITTING AT MY DESK.  To make matters worse, she demands that I raise and lower her in the fancy art chair, as well as “spin her”, get her milk on demand, and “play chase with me.”  

It may be time to reconsider this whole affair.
