  45. Jess Golden’s children’s book illustrations are a-dorable: http://www.jessgolden.com/portfolio/ (Maybe collaborate on a story-telling series, designed for kids, similar to https://www.storycubes.com/ ?)

    Alternately, you can take a page out of Michael Franti’s (https://spiritualityhealth.com/articles/2014/02/17/michael-franti-love)book & use incomplete sentences as a way for tattoo-wearers to reach out to others. (Collaborate with Shane Koyczan?)
