Every school day my son requests his doodle...the one I draw on his snack bag. At times elaborate, whimsical, topical, but mostly just whatever he is into at the moment. I am NOT an artist, but indulge this request each day for fun. This is a daily musing about his requests.

Tales from the Crypt
Some of my parent friends tell stories of their kids' voracious reading appetites. Well, this is not my kid despite my own pretty substantial reading habits. Oscar likes to write his own stories. You can imagine how fun book reports are - assigned twice weekly. When I ask Oscar what book he wants to use for his homework last night, he quickly makes up a title (Blood Drinking Monsters). Yeah. Try again puppet - get something from the shelf. Skelly the Skeleton materializes with the request to draw her for the bag so everyone can see she's not just a girl...she's a spooky girl. Sigh - it's rough discouraging your super creative kid. I bet his story would be better. Happy Friday! xoxo

World 10
I had hoped to get off easy with an American flag doodle in honor of Flag Day this morning...no dice. Time ticking away + homeboy asking me to draw the level he was trying to clear in Super Mario Bros. Sigh. We made it out of the house on time but the bottom halves of Mario + skeleton turtle didn't fair so well in my haste. At least he got to the boss bowzer. Happy Thursday! xoxo

Goodbye Kitty
She's hella girlie + I'm pretty sure the real prime
minister of Japan. I wasn't getting away with clean cut kitty
though. Even super terrific idols fall pray to
the undead. Oscar was stoked on this one
- he tells me how he will use this to tease all the chicks at tae kwon do this
afternoon. Hey, I'm your wingman sweetie
- I got you. Happy Tuesday! xoxo

Au Revoir Simone
Well, actually bonjour, but unfortunately there isn't a band with that name that I am aware. So, this is a special request by my special little protege. Oscar's best friend's little sister slash the girl he will always secretly dream is his girlfriend. When I asked Oscar this morning if he was cool with giving up the doodle to her this morning he had noooo problem with it. Of course. Having held this same title with my brother's bff forever, I can tell you little girl, just reap the benefits. There's no shame in my game. Happy Friday! xoxo

Five-O
This is a super basic version of Oscar's morning request. His ask: a cop shooting a guy - not a robber though - and his brains coming out. Um...ok. I wonder if he was awake when we were watching Rampart? All this doodle needs now is the Hollywood sign + the ACLU. Happy Tuesday! xoxo

How's about a nice Hawaiian punch?
No real "plans" this weekend + as uze we ended up doing like 8 million things...plus the weather was killer. This morning while we reminisced in an unprecedented early up time Oscar's high point involved his indulgence in Hawaiian Punch at the taco stand. It's his liquid sunshine + something he is only allowed to have when we go there (which is like once a week). I guess good times come in all forms. Happy Monday! xoxo
