Creative Dad Colors His Kids’ Drawings During His Business Trips

ADVERTISEMENT

Fred Giovannitti, a self-described artist, dad, inventor, environmentalist and entrepreneur (whom we’ve written about before here) has a wonderful habit of taking his kids’ drawings with him when he goes on business trips and adding his own artistic and colorful touches.

Giovannitti lives in Delaware, but spends as much as a third of his year abroad. He has spent the last 4 years taking his children’s drawings with him to stay, in a way, connected to them. He says that Sofia (age 8), Jaxton (age 5) and Freddie (age 9) are always happy to see how the pieces come out.

Dad’s quite the interesting character – when he’s not flying about to do high-end tattoos, he created industrial equipment designed to help protect marine ecosystems. Check out his site, because there’s a lot to see!

Your kids are very imaginative! I hope you just coloured a photocopy. Your work is beautiful too, though, few changes or additions!

Thank you. After the first couple pictures, I started coloring a scan of the original on heavier stock paper.

Awesome way to bond with your kids. You obviously have some kids with budding artistic talent as well.
