Dads Rock!


Kids VT commission Michael Tonn for the cover of their annual Father's issue.

Michael was asked to create an image where the father figure came across as a "hip dude"; one that had put his rock 'n' roll lifestyle on hold in order to be a family man. Michael says "This piece proved to be a real crowd pleaser because I believe everyone's heart melts a little bit when you catch a big tough guy showing his soft tender side. I found it to be a great opportunity to put my knowledge of alternative culture to use and fuse it with a timeless and universal moment. Also, in the lower left corner you will see a framed picture of a family. Though it is small you may notice that it is a family of two Dads. This was to compliment another article in the paper about gay Fathers and their journey to parenthood."
