Illustration Friday - Remote

Telling your 14-year-old to do anything can be very much like living on a remote island and talking to yourself. Illustration Friday, illustration by Kim Carney.

How did you know what I have been going through for the last few hours with a 14 year old? Things are changing as of now - really ....

Agree this is a clear style, stylishly done. I like her dress and hair cut - I dont like HIM at all :)

Thank you everyone. This one seemed to be easy to conjure up in my head. (I wonder why?!)

Very clever and too hilarious. My son actually sends me chat messages from upstairs to ask me what's for dinner, I guess he thinks the idea of coming downstairs is too remote. You wait Kim, your day is coming!

Love this concept!

Yep, I remember those times well! I'm glad you have a sense of humor, and at least the remote islands are warm and pretty!

Clever - I don't have a 14 year old, but I was one once - I can relate! Love your rendering here Kim as well as the overall approach - great stuff!
