In this short essay "Moon of the Sugar Ants" by Phyllis Florin, the author uses the Northern California experience of invading sugar ants as a point of departure for musings about her life experiences. It will run this Sunday (March 30, 2008) on the "My Word" page of the San Francisco Chronicle Magazine. In the illustration I wanted to show that the narrator has become "O.K" with the ants in her life. That linoleum pattern, the sugar trail, and all the little ants were a lot of fun to do. The art director, Dorothy Yule, did a really nice job on the page layout and scattered a bunch of the little guys beyond the illustration border and down the page. The story is here.
