The Dancing Moose: In the Flesh

I received a phone call recently that was a bit of a surprise. In fact it was so surprising that if it had come roughly two months from now, I would have guessed it was an April Fools Day prank.

The caller was a gentleman from Boston who is an executive with a prominent business magazine. He told me that his fiance is a ballet dancer by profession and she stumbled upon my blog. He said that he and his fiance liked my 'Dancing Moose' illustration very much.


She wanted to get a tattoo created based upon my illustration...and he wondered if I minded that idea.  I told him I was flattered to know that he and his wife enjoyed my moose enough to have it reproduced in such a unique manner.

Well, apparently, after their recent honeymoon, she went ahead with it. I later received a photo of the 6 inch tattoo...and here it is, in the flesh. 

To the caller, (who will remain anonymous here): Thanks for taking the time to contact me. That made my day!
