As part of my studio remodel, I found myself with a little rainbow frame on my wall, and wanted to place a picture of two of my most important characters there. It's a little different in that I wanted the pose to look like a family photo. These two are like family to me, I've been drawing them since I was 12 years old. I'm almost 41 now. Time sure does fly!

Zad and Soraya are adoptive siblings, nine years old as depicted here. So far, in my story, I've followed them into late middle age.
