Edwin's faithful chair

Well, I asked some of my friends if they had a favourite chair they sit on while playing their ukes and Edwin’s is a comfy and well-loved sofa with a happy-looking potted plant beside it. I didn’t draw the plant, nor did I include the cushions on the sofa, but I think I have captured the joy Edwin feels when he plays his ukulele on his sofa. I started out wanting to make a simple pen drawing on paper and colour pencils BUT it turned into this short animation and song. 

Words to the song: 

Edwin is sick and tired of giving lectures after lectures on how to effectively hide your feelings. 

“You don’t want your enemies to know your weaknesses,” the textbook says, 

“Your best weapon is pretence.” 

Edwin’s terrified at the thought of the world run by zombies playing nothing but zombie music. 

So he threw the old textbooks out of the window and said this to the whole assembly:

Sing like no one is listening 

Love like you’ve never been hurt 

Dance like no one is watching 

And live like it is heaven on earth 

Love your ukulele like it’s your best friend 

Spend time with it and let it sing 

Remember to share your songs with everybody 

And don’t forget to thank your faithful chair 

I play a baritone uke and sang. 

Now, if this is something you would like to commission me to produce for a loved one, drop me a message!
