Celebrate a meaningful moment from the Fisher family’s history with Myrtle’s Responsibility, a limited-edition mixed-media print by Justyn Simon. Created for The Biography of Earl Dewey Fisher | Episode 3: Brothers and Sisters, the artwork illustrates Earl’s memory of his oldest sister, Olive Myrtle Fisher, caring for him as a baby while their mother tends to his younger sister, Lillian.
As the eldest of eight children, Myrtle carried responsibilities well beyond her years. Earl later recalled that, at only eleven years old, she helped raise him during his earliest days—a role that his father remembered with admiration. Through this intimate scene, Myrtle’s Responsibility honors the quiet acts of love and sacrifice that shaped the Fisher family’s story.
The original piece was created using mechanical pencil, kneaded eraser, colored pencil, India ink pen, fine liner pen, and acrylic paint pen, then refined digitally in Snapseed. This limited-edition release allows collectors to own a special reproduction of the artwork while preserving the exclusivity of the original.
Perfect for collectors of historical artwork, family-history enthusiasts, and admirers of traditional mixed-media illustration, this limited-edition print captures a timeless story of family, responsibility, and sibling devotion.
