Usually when you make art, you don't want the tiny, Cheerio-encrusted hands of any children to touch it. Initially, sketch artist Mica Angela Hendricks agreed entirely with that sentiment; her tiny human daughter would scribble all over her artwork with crayons or child spit every chance she got, ruining the hard work she'd put in. Cough, birth control, cough.
Usually when you make art, you don't want the tiny, Cheerio-encrusted hands of any children to touch it. Initially, sketch artist Mica Angela Hendricks agreed entirely with that sentiment; her tiny human daughter would scribble all over her artwork with crayons or child spit every chance she got, ruining the hard work she'd put in. Cough, birth control, cough.
But eventually, when her 4-year-old daughter told her (menacingly) that if she couldn't share her sketchbook with her, she'd have to "take it away," Mica gave in to the mystery and handed over her sketchbook to the tiny, curiously convincing tot so she could do with it what she pleased.
Once she let the pip-squeak work her magic, Mica realized that they had more artistic collaborations than a Lil' Wayne album. Her daughter had gone in and added some "conceptually challenging" details to her existing sketches, and the result is something that undoubtedly has a place in today's world of contemporary expressionism … or your nightmares. But wherever society chooses to place this work, one thing's for sure: it'll make you giggle-fart, so prepare accordingly.
