Valerie LaPointe, story artist at Pixar, has created and donated this original drawing of a 'lovesick teenager with a fishtail' for Mother Hen. You can read a little background info about the little mermaid drawing on her blog. Thank you Valerie : )
The Mother Hen Project is an art auction to benefit Chicks In Crisis, featuring work by internationally acclaimed artists, animators, illustrators and graphic designers.
What of the hens whom we observe each day at home, with what care and assiduity they govern and guard their chicks? Some let down their wings for the chicks to come under; others arch their backs for them to climb upon; there is no part of their bodies with which they do not wish to cherish their chicks if they can, nor do they do this without a joy and alacrity which they seem to exhibit by the sound of their voices.
