Goldie was a little fish that used to live in a pond. He had a different name then. His name was Charlie. Charlie loved to swim around. He was a male betta with red fins. Time passed, then he was drawn out of the water and put into a little tank. He was loaded into a truck. His water sloshed as the truck bumped along. Charlie thought, “this is terrible!”
Finally, someone carried him into a big building. There he sat on a shelf for a while. He knew this was a pet store that his mother had warned him about, because of all the shelves with fish and other animals. He thought about his home and that made him sad. Then someone picked him off the shelf. “Am I going home?” he thought. He was bumping toward the doors. He thought about his home some more. He knew his family would be happy if he got home. He hoped he was going there.
Then he was set into a vehicle. He knew he was going somewhere, and that somewhere just happened to be a house. It was a white house with a green roof. Charlie knew this was not his pond, so he was disappointed. Then he was carried inside and there he waited on a bench. Charlie finally was brought out. He swam to the surface to take a gulp of air (like bettas do.) He also blew some bubbles.
He discovered a girl who loved him, and she gave him a bowl with pretty blue rocks and renamed him Goldie. She fed him twice a day. Now Goldie was happy and smart, and his favorite color was blue.

I’m an illustrator, surface designer and educator based in Atlanta, GA. I live with my boyfriend and our three rescue kitties, who very often make it into my art, especially the two black cats.
I feel very comfortable creating art for kids, because I'm really a kid at heart. I love cute animals and bright colors. I find it particularly satisfying to distill complex concepts into simple shapes that are stylized but easily recognizable.
Sienna Farr was one of Princess Awesome's first models, before our Kickstarter, before we were much more than a dream and a few dresses made of tee shirts and quilting material. She died in a fire that also seriously injured her mother on August 11, 2023, aged 13.
Princess Awesome is so proud to partner with Women in Aviation International to sponsor a design contest during the summer of 2023. We are looking for your awesome ideas for new clothing that features airplanes, helicopters, engineering concepts, schematics - anything that has to do with aviation.
