To illustrate just how terrifying, here's the first attempt I made at digitising an Oliphant Kat, courtesy of Nick's iPhone: I've wanted to make labels for the things I make for a long time, and sticking an elephant on it seemed like a natural thing to do, but the idea of drawing it on a computer was terrifying to me. Someone sketched one out for me once - so long ago that I don't know who or when anymore - and it stuck somehow. One of the few things I can draw are little cartoon elephants. I'm even worse on a computer - I can compose and edit things in Photoshop, but trying to draw them from scratch is a nightmare. My sister managed to get the drawing gene off him, but I wasn't so lucky. There's a beautiful chalk drawing of my mother that sits in their house - she can't be much older than I am now and the amount of life he managed to make radiate off the board is simply breathtaking. He can take a piece of paper and almost anything that will make a mark on it, and voila! A drawing emerges.
