Collaborative drawing day with William Downs at {Poem88} Gallery, Atlanta. Here’s his collaboration with my Nora.
Today was the day for the girl to get a haircut. She’s still not sure about the new look, but she loved sitting in the little toy fire truck.
Meant to post this earlier: My Christmas present from my son. He picked out new ones that he thought I’d like, some of his favorites, and wrapped them all up in a sheet of white paper.
My son’s making crystals and they aren’t growing at all like we expected. This little tree bloomed off a tiny crystal shard today. It was a tiny point sticking out of the water last night.
Nora, 4: Dad, look at those rotten bananas! (points in trash, laughing at the chilled slightly overripe fruit)
Me: You know, Nora, the refrigerator is purgatory for a banana.
Nora: Yeah Dad, I knowwww.
- Nora, turning 4 today, and her new version of the story on her toes.
My son has a new tumblr for his t-shirt designs. I helped of course, a lot. But it’s his own page and he’s really proud of it. He told me the stories behind each image and I typed them in for him.
Check it out! He’s not allowed to follow any tumblrs, because I think he’s too little, but you can follow him, or subscribe. His posting will be very light.
So I helped my son set up a website yesterday.
He’s in 2nd grade, and when he was in kindergarten he decided he wanted to design t-shirts and started drawing on his white ones. I helped him scan, sharpen, and upload to a zazzle shop. The spiky eye was his first one, and this weekend we put up the stories behind some of his designs.
I typed his stories and helped pick the theme. Now he wants to print more QR symbols and pin them up all over the neighborhood.
