Art by Well-behaved Artists

While waiting in line for the Mandarin’s free lunch buffet yesterday (just like their normal buffet only you don’t have to pay) my husband, kids, and I occupied ourselves by making this drawing. This was done in a round robin style with each artist taking a turn before passing the drawing pad to the next person. Turns continued until the page was reasonable filled and it was time for dinner.

Near as I can tell, this scene takes place on an alien planet where a group of extra-terrestrials are arguing about their favourite tv series. Come to think of it, perhaps they aren’t aliens at all, but humans doing elaborate cosplay.

I’m delighted that my whole family is artistic, or at least we’re artistic enough to have this activity sustain us for an hour. As a side note, we considered having one parent hold the place in line. I’m glad we waited as a group instead. We had more valuable family time than we ever would have at home doing our own separate things. Also, a woman behind us complimented us on how well behaved our children are.
