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 wife is a ballet dancer by profession and she stumbled upon my blog. He further explained that he and his (at-that-time) fiance liked my 'Dancing Moose' illustration very much, and wondered if I'd mind if she had a tattoo created based upon my illustration. It would be placed in an area where only she and he would see it.) (The mind runs quickly to images of where that might be...but I didn't ask.) 


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, flash forward a few weeks to 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, at his request, will remain anonymous here): Thanks for taking the time to contact me and let me share in the fun.
