A vibrant digital artwork depicts a stylized green turtle with a cream-colored shell floating in the sky. Above its shell, a pink balloon is tied to it, giving the impression that it is lifting the turtle aloft, with a smaller turtle being pulled along, creating a whimsical and imaginative scene. The background consists of a textured blue sky scattered with white clouds.

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
