Gina Perry

My girlfriend Gina has left her job as an art director to focus full time on becoming a children’s book illustrator. I am so excited for her. She has actually already illustrated one book. This is her site: www.ginaperry.com.
I pasted this image from her site. It is one of my favorites. [...]

My first video EVA!

I did it. I made a video, downloaded it, fixed the settings, updloaded it to youtube and then posted it to my blog. I’m ready for bed.

I got the Taro Gomi Book

Here are some pages. Aren’t they beautiful. I’ve decided to keep this for myself. The boys don’t love it like I do. I’ll use it as inspiration for plush toys and to practice drawing. A lot of pages ask that you draw and then color in what you’ve drawn.

First Impression

The boys and I went to the Children’s Museum of Portsmouth this afternoon. Drew is home sick so I took the boys out to allow Drew to have a quiet house to sleep. First we went to Barnes and Noble so that I could use up my gift certificate. I got a [...]

Mindball

Doug and I played Mindball. The object of the game is to get the ball into the other person’s goal. The way you do it is by being the most relaxed. You put an electromagnetic thingamagiggy headband around your head. Then you relax as much as possible. Ready Go! [...]
