The face of Mario was created in 1991 when I got my first Macintosh. It was just a fun sketch, a personal icon with no intended purpose. Six years later, when I met Michelle, it occurred to me that she, too, would need a personal icon to symbolize our relationship.
Together, we turned our icons into playful stickers, handed them out or sent them to friends, and had hours of fun inventing places to stick them everywhere we went.
As our family grew, it only seemed right to continue our fun tradition. We created a new icon in 2001 for Travis, our firstborn, and yet another in 2005 following BrandonÕs arrival.
Over the years, the family icons and drawings of our moments together became a unique and enjoyable way to share our lives with friends and relatives, near and far. TOONDIARY is a visual accumulation of our time together and the events that inspired them. Enjoy!
