Father's Day...

A detail from my Father's Day card from Liem yesterday. Looks like someone has been hit by the boom...

You are clearly doomed.

:) The boom is one of the first boat parts that kids learn because "when it hits you, it goes BOOM..."

First, I read that as "hit by the moon." :P

Second, I love Liem's genius and execution of his perspective!

Yes, I was really impressed that he showed the chines of the hull from slightly underneath. There are a lot of little details that he's apparently drawn from memory, including the window in the jib, the lacing in the mainsail luff, and the forestay being slightly ahead of the jib. The things he's missed tend to by the things he wouldn't see from the front of the boat.

Wow, he has so many details--of course, because he knows the boat intimately--and I love the perspective he's put on it (so you can see the rear of the boat with "shearwater" on it).

The ouch marks are nice, too.

Yes, it was an interesting angle to choose! I also like how he's shown the bottom of the boat too.
