Requesting assistance in updating the blind bookworm graphic

[kestrell]

When I was in grammar school and spent most of classtime drawing, I came up with this image of a visually impaired bookworm that I drew on everything. It was green with big round spectacles that were as big as its head, and had little arms with two-fingered hands, so it could hold the book open and turn the pages.

When I designed one of my early web pages, Alexx's dad came up with a blind bookworm with dark sunglasses for me. You can see it on my old Blind Bookworm website at
https://www.panix.com/~kestrell/

I have this crazy hope that some people out there can help me obtain an updated version of my little bookworm, either by locating a similar Creative Commons version, or using mad art skills to update the graphic.

So this is me, asking folks to participate in a sort of demented art project. Thanks ahead of time for any suggestions/contributions.

After searching Google Images, I've concluded that you have the only disabled bookworms on the web. (Bookworms plural, because don't forget about the little guy you posted on this page.) Are you sure you want to banish them from your website? They seem to be serving their purpose, and I can't find any free-to-reuse bookworms that are superior in style.

Of course, if you can find an artist to create a blind bookworm to your specifications, that would be a treat.

Thank you for searching! And yes, if I can't find an image that speaks to me as well as my original, I will keep the one I have.

It was your comment about missing the old Blind Bookworm pages that caused me to think about BB as my mascot? logo? so thank you for that, too.

Glad my remark helped!
