I have to draw a sick child for the parental advice column. And researching how sick children get depicted, I realized sick children are a classic theme in painting. Of course I sort of knew that all along, but I just hadn't thought of it. Children used to be sick a lot, thank god those times have changed. I collaged together what I found. I like it when I get to do a real standard situation. Like the psychiatrist cartoon, I did one of those. Well, I never really do cartoons, but still. And the Odalisque. Madonna and child. Venus. I haven't done a desert island yet. I'd love to do a desert island cartoon. Well, I never really do cartoons, but still. Who can come up more standard situations? Or classic themes, if you'd rather do painting. I don't care about those differences.
