7:30am - usual frenzy of morning activity. "Hey Oscar - what should I draw puppy?" He's playing Zelda...he's completely ignoring me. I ask again & request that it is something simple cause, you know. First try: haunted ghost ship. Oh jeez. I ask he cut that down. Second try: haunted ship. Seriously? I say how about we remove the word ship - I'll draw a ghost. Somehow hearing this became haunted dog house. ? Whatever - I can do that pretty quick. "Skeleton dog!" was also shouted at me from over the DS. Got it - with a skeleton dog. When did my kid become Harvey Weinstein? Happy Tuesday! xoxo
So, this morning Oscar asked if he could have the leftover crab legs from dinner for lunch. Fancy! "I don't think that's a good idea - they're not easy to get into" I respond. As consolation he asks that I draw one on the bag. Not just any crab though...a monster crab. As you can see, I kinda fell short. This crab looks pissed off, but hardly a monster. Oscar gave me a hilariously crooked face. Fail. Meh, it's only Monday. I'll work on my imagination skillz throughout the week. Have a good one! xoxo
Unless you live under a rock, you have angry birds in your life. And if you have children, the obsession is cult like - most def. Oscar woke at 5 (yeah) with this on the brain. Naturally they needed to make an appearance at snack time. "Draw the pig too!" Oscar demanded. Alright bro, calm down. He also asked if I could load the Angry Birds 5 app. From what I can see this update is pretty much identical to versions 1-4. Yo, these developer dudes are making bank. Happy Friday! xoxo
The inspiration today is pretty simple: box of Penguins of Madagascar fruit snacks. That's it. What can I say? Sometimes we are short of a muse. If licensed grocery products lend a hand then whatevah. And who doesn't like penguins? Happy Thursday! xoxo
This morning Oscar was watching cartoons during breakfast when a villainous stingray appeared. "Hey! Stingrays aren't bad guys." He was pretty sincere - we like all sea creatures of course but stingrays are extra special. I mean, look at those things - they are bad, in a good way. Oscar was cool with the rendering & followed up with an aquarium visit request. Happy Wednesday! xoxo
So real quick - y'all know Oscar is into gaming. More interesting is how down he is with vintage games like...Sonic the Hedgehog, the current daily fave. It's all good. If we could get our sh*t together sonic speed in the morning, that would be dope. Happy Tuesday! xoxo
Happy New Year...again! This is the new calendar I personally observe. I think it works for me because of the several weeks lapse. I'm never ready for the lifestyle cleanse promptly on Jan 1. Plus, the animals are rad. Dragons, for example - Oscar is pretty stoked. He questioned (as usual) why there was school on such a day as this. "It's a holiday!" he very adamantly stated while I was drawing. Yeah, well, not in the western world I tell him. His consolation is tonight he'll eat shumai & we'll watch a Bruce Lee movie - all good. Happy Monday! xoxo
