He gave me lots of freedom so I had some fun with this one. I went with a anatomical style heart because in my personal opinion they look bad ass. Next I drew in some cartoon style buildings with exaggerated curves and proportions for effect. After that I drew in some roses to represent lifespan. We all live, blossom, wither and die(if lucky enough). We can see this process happen quickly and dramatically in a rose. Then I drew in a banner with 3 of his kids names on it running across the entire design.
