Tiny Art Director, for Your Friday Enjoyment

Posted by on Fri, May 22, 2009 at 6:01 PM

Bill Zeman is an illustrator whose very cute blog operates on a simple concept: His 4-year-old daughter tells him what to draw, he draws it, and she critiques it. He's been doing it since she was two. Some samples:

X-Ray T-Rex

61b3/1243040274-xraytrex_450.jpg

The Brief: A dinosaur in a X-Ray
The Critique: I just want to see a little mousey in his tummy
Job Status: Approved (after addition of mousey)
Additional Comments: That's what kind of bones dogs like to chew on. Dinosaur leg bones.

Bone Dinosaur Eating a Baby

70b4/1243040415-bonedino_400_.jpg

The Brief: A bone dinosaur eating a little baby
The Critique: No! A baby dinosaur!
Job Status: Rejected
Additional Comments: He's just going to be nice to that baby he's got in his mouth

Much, much more here.

I'm going to write a movie wherein all the dialogue is based on things 4-year-olds say.

Gets a 9/10 for being cute.

I can look at it now and I think it's funny, but at one point I had a job where my boss was just like that little kid.
