When we donated to the Flying Yankee‘s traction motor restoration, I noticed that their website allows you to submit an image with your donation. I asked Ray to do a little cocktail napkin drawing of the train to append to ours.
The association asked us if they could use the drawing for promotional materials, which Ray agreed to, but I pointed out that the headlight they’d drawn on him was a style that that engine never actually had. Ray then did an edited version of the drawing to be more accurate.
They then asked if the image could be made into a vector graphic, which was my time to shine! I put it in Illustrator and traced it out in strokes.
We haven’t seen them use it yet, but we were quite honored to be asked.
