| The
"Quarterdeck, Ahoy!" design
was conceived as an O, and going to the right...the opposite direction.
Then came the dolphin, the boat turned around and the whole thing
became a Q.

Before
I began working on the first alphabet, I thought I'd do my own initial...just
for me, never intending it to be part of a name. This is a color
sketch of a possibility (done in colored pencil on pastel paper).
I tried to fit it into the M shape I use now, but I just couldn't
seem to get it... kind of like trying to cram one of the ugly stepsister's
toe into the glass slipper!
Even so, I'm very happy to say it wasn't a total waste of time because
it was while I was struggling with this that I came up with the
idea for My Mane Man.
