Wow. I don’t think I got this many responses even when Baby Bug was born. Maybe I should ask for input more often. Or maybe I should buddy up with thingamababy and parentdish and goodyblog more often. Thanks guys! My stats are through the roof. Well, relatively speaking anyway. I guess free stuff is always a draw.

After looking through everybody’s wonderful comments and weighing what I would like to illustrate and what I think Baby Bug might be into, I decided on Jellyfish. Jellyfish are so pretty! Have you seen the pictures?

I didn’t realize a jellyfish would be so hard to draw though. Do jellyfish have eyes and if so, how many? I did a little research and came back thoroughly confused. That is why I am an hack-artist and not a scientist. I can’t be bothered with being exactly correct. So I hope you don’t mind my bit of poetic license and only making two eyes. I tried it with eight and they just looked like a bobble necklace.

If you have a problem with the jellyfish’s anatomically incorrectness, you can just call it a reason to bring up the discussion with your child. Who knows, they might grow up to be a marine biologist because of it.

And with that, I give you I and J for your downloading pleasure! Oh no! You missed the free download. Stay tuned though. They will be for sale in my shop some day.

The letter “I” was easy. Ice Cream! Baby Bug must point at our big red refrigerator about a thousand times a day and say, “I-keam?”

But “J” has got me stumped. I know, stumped already whatever am I going to do when I get to “Q” and “X”? Well, ask you guys of course. I wanted to illustrate “J is for Jump” but it needs to be something more than just the letter “J” jumping. I was thinking jelly bean or jaybird but I’m not sure. I’m not too keen to introduce yet another sweet to the collection as they are already becoming a problem and Baby Bug doesn’t even know what jaybird is yet. We don’t have them here. At least I don’t think so. Maybe I’m thinking of the bluejay. Hmm… not sure.

Anybody have a good “J” subject? I’m all ears. I’ll put up the downloadable pdf when I have a J card. Coming soon… I hope.
