Giant

Winter 1970-1971, age 3 3/4
Marker

A giant towers over a little house. He's even taller than the moon! Ouside the house stands a tiny person, perhaps Jack (of beanstalk fame). I'm not quite sure what the line is that emerges from the house and conects to a square and triangle—it may be Jack's beanstalk, or it may also be a rocket, or both, or neither.

Note the paper. My father used to bring home reams of used old-style computer paper from work. These pages were meant to be printed on one side only (there were pale green bars printed horizontally on the paper to make it easier to read lines of code) so the backs were always left blank. And the sheets were nice and big (14x11 or so), great for drawing. I usually used one page per drawing, but here I wanted to emphasize the sheer size of the giant, so I used two sheets and taped them together. My father loved this drawing so much that he had it hanging in his office for years afterward.
