Growing up, there were two main things that came to mind where my grandparents were concerned: Grandma Betty's cream puffs and the "white house" pillars on the front of their house in Louisville.

This version is a little more Irish, but a green cream puff didn't seem right.

I decided to mock this onto a t-shirt to help decide on the colors.

I went with a lighter shirt because the cream puff doesn't look right reversed.

Cream puffs are hard to illustrate! I went through a lot of variations.

I liked the shirt so much I ordered one! (I'll probably give it to my dad for his birthday.)
