Why ladybugs? Well, there’s a certain 5 year-old with whom I’ve spent countless hours looking for ladybugs in fields, meadows, or even sidewalk plants. We’ve drawn ladybugs on every picture we create together. “Ladybugs are like snowflakes gran’papa,” she tells me, “no two are alike.”

This project was designed and implemented by Jay Wright, hobbyist illustrator and professional software developer.
