I have blended two of my favorite original drawings, added a mosaic effect by hand to each. I then set them up so they compliment and strengthened each other. Two precious gifts we can give to our children: roots first, then wings.
The rounded windows have hidden symbols for these themes as do the spaces between the two mosaics. I wanted to have an updated yet medieval feel to the entire piece. There is tons of color and details.
This makes a great anniversary, baby gift or house warming gift.
Size: 8 x 10 over 8.5 x 11, printed on cardstock. It fits perfectly a 8 x 10 mat or frame. It also fits in a document frame.
Personalize It: I can add an anniversary date and family name in the middle as shown.

For a fishing fanatic it’s always a good time to go fishing, especially if you can take along your favorite buddy! This might be a wife, or a whole gaggle of grand kids. This drawing is for anyone who has patiently untangled line, threaded worms, bought the soda, crackers and cheese. The heroes who provide a pleasant excuse for others to get out in the sun, and see the light on the water.
The sample above honors my father who would rather have fished than breathed and who introduced all his grandchildren to the joys of fishing.
Of course as with all sweetb’s art this is a print of my original drawing, drawn with only little ole pencils and pen, with hand-added personalized details before shipping to you.
Size: 8.5 x 11
Personalize It: I can add your names and change the fisherman slightly on the chair to make it special for your honored friend, grandparent, or parent.

Luminous colors portray a father’s love for his child: nurturing, a little daring, and outward-looking.
This small print looks so close to my original I can’t tell the difference. The companion piece, Mother and Child, is of a similar style, the same size and color family. They would be striking alone or as a pair.
Size: 5 x 4.5 image on larger white cardstock with plenty of white border for easy framing.

This is a print of one of my favorite drawings. I tried to capture the awkward contrast between the huge hands, feet and leg angle with the delicate little person he is holding. The night sky has come alive at this special moment and he is left wonder-filled to be so blessed.
Size: 5 x 7 image printed on 8.5 x 11 cardstock, which gives you some framing options.

This is a print of my original drawing and would make a cherished gift for Dad to show off in his office or home.
Along the bottom and forming the letters are some of the ways Dads make our lives better!
The scripture at the bottom is a blessing for a good father and the word ‘fear’ in this context means ‘respect.’
Size: 8.5 x 11, printed on cardstock
Personalize It: The group of children shown in the treehouse above can be changed to represent your family and names can be added on the board across the tree house or a family name added to the flag!

The foundation of this piece is the D-A-D golfing and fishing letters. To that foundation, I can add a few special whimsical small touches that reflect the special things about your own father’s history (for example: for one family, I added an old-fashioned milk box and bottle because their dad had been a milkman).
This becomes a one-of-a-kind keepsake and conversation piece your dad will treasure with lots of personal details, printed from my original drawing.
Size: 8.5 x 11 printed on cardstock
Personalize It: Hand-detailing as described above, and the names of children and/or grandchildren can be added to the cluster of fish.

Hot off my drawing board with tons of detail, color, and the humor that has become sweetb’s signature style!
This makes a pretty spectacular gift for a family or friend who loves the game — no matter the reason. Half the fun of a high school or college football game is what goes on all around–from marching bands and flag twirlers to tailgate parties. I’ve even included my favorite new game, “corn hole,” which is big around here but I never played until my sweet daughter-in-law taught our family.
Size: 8.5 x 11
Personalize It: Your team colors, and special messages on the blimp and the flags.
