Well, this is pretty much my hands and one of the pencils i use =). I’m not very good at drawing cartoon hands… but bigger hands are ok, need to work on little cartoon hands =D. I never learnt “2×2 Matrix” in school (or i was not paying attention which is highly likely =P i was a terrible student… You could usually find me doodling).
When i was looking for examples of 2×2 matrix online my husband who was also looking came across this comic… and maybe i shouldn’t pimp someone else comic, but i found it very funny =) check it out Indexed - http://thisisindexed.com/
[EDIT] I actually had originally uploaded a slightly different version. But both me and Bert felt it didn’t totally work. It doesn’t matter if it’s written, drawn or contemporary art sometimes expression complex adoption issues with the message that you intend is indeed a huge challenge. Bring it on!!!! =D

Note from Jess: Apologise this was hard to transcript.
This comic applies to all us adoptees, international and domestic. Bert and I have talked about this before – just let us be who we were meant to be – and stop picking us apart.
Love your work, well done! Is there any chance we could see this strip on merchandise, please? I would proudly wear a t-shirt with this image on it.
Thanks!
