Aside from knitting, portraits are my go-to favorite gifts for my friends and family. But sometimes it's tricky to find the perfect subject. Portraits of myself are a little creepy and vain (Here! Have a drawing of my beautiful face to stare at on your wall!)--as well as portraits of the person I'm giving it to...for similar reasons.
Ideally, a picture of the two of us is great. But for the right person, something even greater pops into my mind. Like this gem of a drawing of comedian Aziz Ansari with an adorable-yet-ugly monkey.
Obviously this isn't my photo. And if I was selling it I wouldn't be comfortable using someone else's professional photo (gotta keep up my non-plagiarism cred). But it was too perfect to pass up for this.
We're thinking about doing a whole series--comedians with ridiculous animals. I'm thinking Chris Rock with an iguana for the next one. Stay tuned.
