Charli and Crissy

Photobucket

Their names probably sound like some glib talk show hosts' but one can never guess what wonders this tandem can do. I can still remember MJ raving about their wonderful illustrations. And just by looking at them, I could tell that they were created by some strange beings from another universe. It never dawned on me that I'd get to have a close encounter with them one day and be faced with the most normal-looking kids fresh out of college.

There is never a dull moment working with this creative duo. Crissy's enthusiasm could light up a whole auditorium while Charli's soulful aria could wake even the tiniest roach in it. So when MJ asked me if I was willing to do these whimsical portraits for them, I didn’t hesitate even if I had to draw them on a plane to Singapore and back.

  2. Waaooow! Those must have been the smoothest, most turbulent-free plane rides ever!

    As evidenced by your exquisite portraits, there is absolutely nothing normal about this pair. They look quite celestial. All the fantastic personal detail make my eyes light up! I had to laugh at Charli's broken watch and dead cell phone. Crissy is beautiful!

    And speaking of beautiful...those packages! Oh goodness, my mouth is watering!
