"POP" ART

I finished the art project that I was working on that used the Tootsie Pop wrappers and it turned out good, I think. Its about 28" tall and 20" wide. I used about 40 or 50 wrappers, all of them Cherry and Grape.

I call it, "Marilyn in Cherry and Grape":



I am going to do another one in about a week, so stay tuned. If you have any suggestions of personalities, send them along. Sorry, I don't think I will do Elvis.

TechnoLust

So I got my new iPhone hooked-up. It took me a little time to get everything upgraded and updated, but I got it done and now it works great. This thin is awesome and I have started to stock it with images and music.

I put together a few movies that showcase my portfolio and have been taking pictures of Jack and Kate, too. There is an address book, notes and email client, but I have yet to get that to send email yet. But soon, yes, soon, I will, and then no one can stop me mhoo hoo hoo hoo haaaaaahhhhhh.....

Anyway, its cool.

Send Me Your Wrappers

I am working on a special Art project, so I am asking for tootsie pop wrappers. Any will do, although Orange, Red and Purple are preferred. So if you ever buy these, send me the wrappers instead of throwing them away and I will incorporate them into my Art project.



When I am finished, I will be sure to post it here.

Stuff them in an envelope and send it to me:

Thanks in advance - and keep checking back!!!

Cheesus

"Cheesus" is the name given to a Cheeto that has been found by a youth minister in Houston that resembles Jesus.

I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. But when I read this I just laughed out loud at the term "Cheesus" ( A combination of the words Cheeto and Jesus).



Here's a link to the full story if you think I made this up:

And if you did think I made this up, then Cheesus help you.

Easter Dinner at the O'Briens

We went over to Jim and Reets for a big Easter dinner this afternoon and met up with the rest of the family. The O'Briens, The Witcheys, The Goodyears and the McDonalds.

I played with the kids in the back yard, as usual, and got a few pics of all the kids together. It was tough to get them all to stay still for anything more then five seconds. To do it at once was nearly impossible, but I think I got a good shot or two.

It was great to see everyone together and we all had a good time.

Happy Easter!

We had Grandma and Papu come over early this morning to participate in the big egg hunt. We got some of those little plastic eggs that you can put stuff inside and stuffed them with jelly beans.

I, err, I mean, the Easter Bunny hid them in the back yard so that Jack could go looking for them this morning.

Earlier, Papu and Grandma got Jack a mini red wagon, so we brought it out and instructed him to go find the eggs and put them in the wagon.

He walks out into the back yard and we explain the basics of finding the eggs and to put them in the wagon. He sees an egg, goes over and picks it up and proceeds to throw it as far as he can. The dog takes off after it.

Oh well, maybe he will "get it" next year.

My Logo Was Picked!

So the people over at George Mason University that head up the Fall for the Book were looking for a new logo, since its been ten years since its inception and the current logo was a bit dated.

Since I work for the library that gives some graphics support for the festival, they asked us for a few examples for them to consider. I heard today that my logo was picked as the new look for the Fall for the Book Festival.
