A cartoon illustration of a construction worker or contractor. He’s got the safety vest, helmet, ear protection, walkie talkie, probably even steel-toed boots. I think he’s the contractor, since he’s carrying the plans.

A chef. Probably from a more upscale restaurant, if they’re wearing the traditional chef’s uniform.
This is image 138 of 150 images commissioned for Learning A-Z. Each one is a cartoon drawing of a person isolated on white. Diversity was a key priority in the series and so the characters represent many different races, ethnic groups, genders, ages, and included individuals with visible disabilities. Previous batches were focused mostly on children, but this batch are all adults.

A veterinarian. Very similar to the doctor/nurse from last time but holding a dog so we know he’s an animal doctor.

Last batch. This one’s different from the previous batches. This one’s grouped into two categories. The first half depicts different recognizable professions while the second are all historical figures.
This one is a doctor or a nurse.

A grandfather with a child’s birthday cake, candles lit.

A grandmother heading off to her yoga class.

This one is supposed to be a teacher. What makes him a teacher? Well, mostly because that’s what the specs say he is. He could really be about any ordinary office worker standing around with a dry erase marker. (Not a retail worker, though, because there’s no name tag.)
The first draft actually gave him a lanyard with an ID badge, like my kids tell me all the teachers wear all the time now. But the client decided on no lanyard.

She’s got an awfully big cup of coffee. I may have made it a bit too big, actually. Or maybe she REALLY needs her coffee this morning.

A child getting ready to water some plants.

He looks sensibly bundled up, doesn’t he? I’ve mentioned before how I like doing this sort of knit pattern on the mittens and hat. I enjoyed the chance to play with that again here.
