The Littlest Engineers

Almost as grand as our friends at MCG Jazz winning a GRAMMY, our cousin, Lindsay Durand (age 8) has placed second in the Boeing Engineering Week Art Contest!

Yeah, Lindsay! [Last year her sister Halle won First Place in her age group.]

I thought you (plural) would be interested in this email exchange between Travis and myself regarding Lindsay's artwork.

I'm blown away...

This is just one of her many talents developing so far.  She is the top kid in her class and a great thinker in many areas.

Well, she should pursue this talent. We're blown away by this at the agency ... what she illustrated for the Boeing web site I'd expect from a professional illustrator for $4,000-8,000.

Is art school in her future, or is she just going to skip to repainting the Sistine chapel at age 9?

Feeling talentless,

Hey Travis,

I was telling a creative director I work with how impressed I was with Lindsay's artwork, and he asked for the link to see for himself. Below is the reply. Pass this along!

Wow. Pretty professional! Guess it runs in the family.
