Rock Star

Jack has gotten into playing a toy guitar and running back and forth across the room while it plays and then falling down when the song is over. I have no idea how he got onto this, but it is as entertaining to him as it is to us, so we let him do his thing.

Bob Marley pen & ink

I created a painting of Bob Marley for my series of Tootsie Pop Art. I didn't like how it was working, so I created a pen and ink sketch so I could work out the shading problems.

Here it is:

Pics of Us

Kate took some cute pics of me and Jack and I took one of her and Jack.

(O'Brien) Butterflies

I created these butterflies for my nieces, The shapes are not only butterflies, but also their initials. Collen, Ally and Meghan O'Brien.

Squeeeeeeze

Jack was playing with the Play Doh the other day and Kate shot this little movie of him and the squeeeezie tool that makes "speghetti".

Cornholio and the Soaphawk

When I used to watch Bevis & Butthead (OK, I still watch them), there was a character that Butthead created, "Cornholio". He would take his hands and, well, I'll let my boy show you:


Is this detrimental to his development? Is this possibly a blow to his general well-being? I don't know, but its fun to do stuff like this. At least I'm not giving him sips of beer or blowing smoke in his face or something.

I am so jealous of his hair. I don't have any (its all migrated to other areas, like my ears) and long for the days when I too, had long locks of hair. So when its bath time, sometimes I get to do stuff like this: The Soaphawk.

My New Guilty Pleasure

Its another blog, but its comedic gold. Cakewrecks is a hilarious take on cakes that are bad, mad and just plain crazy.

I showed Kate and she laughed so hard, she cried. Its that good. As my sister would say: Trust.
