Oh my dear 'stina...

ABOUT THE TINY ART DIRECTOR

"I want Daddy to go away on a trip"

.... this blog. is. awesomeness.

It is called Tiny Art Director, and basically it is this: A grown-up man draws pictures that his wee daughter directs. Then, she critiques them. Each picture is either approved or rejected, and only the tiny art director gets to decide. The tiny art director often rejects them (hee hee) - and with rather scathing reviews (example: "Daddy it's not supposed to be like that! He has dog legs! I'm so mad at you! I'm going to erase those legs! Daddy why did you do those legs???").

Here is one example:


The Brief: Crocodiles

Preliminary Sketch (no longer extant): Upon seeing the preliminary sketch, the art director, in a rather unprofessional outburst, collapsed on the floor sobbing and screaming
.
The Critique: The back is so so so bad I don't even want to look at it! You always do that to the crocodile's back!

Job Status: Rejected and Destroyed

Finished Version (above):
The Critique: Good. The big one is me. You can be the little one.
Job Status: Approved

hehe. Oh - and the tiny art director often demands dinosaurs. And occasionally, scenes of inter-species violence.
