Cash Ruined Everything Around Me 🍦 (Watercolor & ink on 5.5" by 8.5" paper) . When I was a kid, the ice-cream truck could make any day a good day. No matter what was going on at home, in school, or out in the world... when I heard the sound of the ice-cream truck approaching, everything stopped. I remember the joy that would spread through my entire body in a split second… but then I would remember that I had to go ask my parents for money and that always stole the joy right back away from me. My parents worked hard for our money, and I knew it still wasn't enough most times even though they tried to keep their struggles out of my sight. So I hated asking for money. Money seemed to taint a lot of the things it touched around me growing up…but maybe it was all perspective. Some kids just saw the ice-cream truck. Some kids didn't see the bigger picture. The ice-cream truck taught me a lot about this world before I even understood. .
