A person wearing black glasses and a black beret is sitting on a wooden surface, reading a newspaper, with a speech bubble that reads "EMMA READS OUT LOUD FOR CHANGE". Next to them is a white dog staring at the person, while a small beach ball, a colorful bucket, and a red cup with a design are seen nearby. A seagull flies in the blue sky above, and a green leafy branch from a tree is also visible in the background.

I was a creative kid but didn’t think to pursue it and, upon graduating from high school, followed the path of least resistance from mail clerking at an ad agency to managing the HR Department of a mid-sized investment dealer, where, after eight years, I decided to take a run at doing as I pleased. Early on, this was writing, later, illustrating. I still do both, though am acknowledged most for my illustrations, reproductions of which have appeared in Canadian and U.S. publications, been chosen for Apple iCards, and are hung for fun on walls around the world. Two have been featured on Fine Art America's home page—'little black dress' and, more recently, 'painter'. Visit my website, dkzn/dickson, at dkzn.net
