While finishing up the process I made a badge for some old friends (they will come up later) and afterwards I ended up getting some emails from people asking for badges. I replied with “Thank you… glad you like my work… badges are only for a select group… if I have any spare time I’ll see what I can do.” Basically, “Sorry, but No.” SO I actually did do the badges- and used the excuse of these were warm ups. Just like anything you warm up before you get to serious drawing, little doodles that you toss. I took a few of those to a finished state, and this was one of them.
I don’t know much about MINIon #0727, the email I received was of a personal nature helping me to figure out what to draw, but I don’t feel right sharing it. You might be able to guess at some of it through the clues in the badge. I was able to see their MINI at a gas station in Nevada. I never actually saw them, but I recognized the badge. I don’t feel right coming up to someone and introducing myself “Hey! I drew that!”
