Deeds & Magpie!

Little Deeds doesn't know it yet but he's getting an updated version of the Dog4Deeds drawing with Magpie on a t-shirt.


Don't know who Deeds is? He's a little boy with autism. And Magpie is his autism service dog - she keeps an eye on him. It was nearly a year ago that Caryn Haluska AKA @ihave7monsters recruited me to help Deeds' family. Back then, none of us knew what kind of dog would be found for Deeds, so I drew a Golden Retriever. Turns out Magpie is a pretty Black Lab!

I'm still so proud of what we achieved together. It was one of those special social media moments where so many folks came together to help someone. You know who you are.

Don't tell Deeds about the t-shirt!

YOU. @dadgineer.

Do you know the Steve Cole the @dadgineer? He did something really nice for me last week - he put me on Wikipedia. He just volunteered and he did it. So I decided to send him a t-shirt with his face on it.

SURPRIZE!!!


But there's a little more to the story...you see his fabulous wife, @theblondeview, had already contacted me secretly to ask if I'd draw her husband. Isn't that sweet?

If you are an engineer chances are the inside of your head looks like this: 


I like these two people a lot, they've got a sweet family vibe and are fun and helpful. @theblondeview wore the Autism April Twibbon on her Twitter avatar for a whole month. FUN!

So there you go, a little kindness got passed around and everyone is smiling. I love Twitter for this kind of thing!
