10 – VERTICAL GROWER
For this year’s challenge, I decided to try something different from my massive day-by-day story of characters that I put together last year. Inspired by the incomparable AXE COP, I decided to turn the creative reins over to my 3 year old son. I wrote out the alphabet and had him create a character for each letter. He told me about the new superhero and guided me on their designs. It should be noted that all word balloon dialogue was also created by my three year old. So here we go, in no particular order…
VERTICAL GROWER
My father in-law was an elementary art teacher before he retired, and was teaching my son a song he made up about horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions. Putting vertical together with the concept of growing, my son decided vertical grower would be a great character. I’m not sure where her rage comes from. Her digital clock, belt buckle would be handy though, for herself and others.
