Buy my Kid's Zines!

 My kid has several zines for sale. I star in one of them, the one called "Sleepy Little Town." The red, orange, and yellow ones are the first three chapters of his werewolf comic

Get'em while they're hot!

Paper Shells Update!

New update on Paper Shells, my kid's new comic.

This is the plotline I helped with -- how to be an English professor in the year 2000.

This is a picture of me driving around mourning my beloved 1989 Fayetteville:

It's My Birthday

 Well, not until tomorrow. But we had a party yesterday, with order-in Italian and this:

A leaning-tower of carrot cake, which I made my own self, since Dr Skull cannot make cakes at the moment. I am not a fifth-generation baker, as you can probably tell. Still, it was tasty. The cream cheese frosting was especially good.

The kid and his husband and one of their grad school friends came over; also Uncle Charger. We had a good time. Next week is the kid's spring break and he and his husband are flying off to Maryland to visit friends. Maryland is where the kid plans to move if the situation does not improve in Arkansas.

The kid painted this for my birthday:

Jasper and my little cat Junti, may her memory be a blessing, cuddling together for once.

It was 20 degrees and wimdy when I took the dog to the park this morning. There were two big dogs there so he had someone to run with.

We're doing Hanukkah late because the kid was still up at the U during Actual Hanukkah.

Anyway, one of their presents was a new Koi watercolor set, and this is the first thing they painted with it:

This is something they drew for their final portfolio in their Fall art class:

And finally! A self-portrait:

The Kid Does Art

Right now in the Kid's Studio Art class they are working on a collage project. I don't think I ever wrote about the Kid's Troubles with Scissors, but when they were in preschool, their scissors skills were so inferior (who knew toddlers got graded on Scissor Skills?) that the teacher wanted us to have them evaluated by a neurologist.

Time-jump to 2018, and the Kid can cut with scissors now, but boy do they hate it.

On the other hand, I present the collages they have (so far) created:

Update on the Kid

Tentative good news.

Today we took the Kid for their follow up with the liver guy, the one who has been treating their possible autoimmune disease.

This is an exercise for their Studio I class:

Desk with water bottle, charcoal on paper

For the record, they hate working in charcoal with a fiery passion.

It's true that Trump is wagging the dog, and America is falling for it like the boot-lickers they are.

But! Look what my kid made for me in her craft class:

Is she not the best kid ever?
