My roommates and I are commissioning a painting. We wanted something utterly ridiculous that incorporated the three of us into the picture. Some ideas that were originally thrown around were:
- The three of us riding three boars like horses, fighting some sort of dragon. (This would be happening in outer space)
- All three of us riding one giant squid in the ocean
- The three of us, as firemen, saving kittens from a burning building
We eventually decided on the third. (I am still hopeful that someday we may also commission one of the others). The artist that we hired is our friend Jen’s little sister. She turned in a rough sketch last night, and I am pumped about it.
(We specifically requested that there be a person still in the building that we consciously did not rescue, because kittens are cuter.)

I love it!
