The Django Critter
My first time using Illustrator, recreating the Django critter inspired by Eric Walstad's daughter.
This was actually my first time using Illustrator. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get Illustrator to cooperate enough to do everything I wanted. Eric’s daughter Lucinda thinks my work is “so awesome!” so I can’t really complain.
“It occurred to me that my 9yr old daughter has been listening to me talk about Django for almost half of her life. She sees me reading books and blogs about Django. She sees me wear my green DjangoCon t-shirt. For the last 4 years Django’s had some influence on her, too.
Last night she was creating critters with her water color crayons. Some are strong, some are mischievous, some are kind. She created the Django critter for me.”

Original
Django is a computer programming critter. He is loyal only to computer programmers and does all their work. He types with the ball on the end of his tail, at the speed of light. He beeps when his work is done and when you take him home, he flies around the house, doing all your chores. He’s a helpful little fellow.
