Colour forms

This one is a portrait of daddy riding a bicycle, although it appears to be a tricycle and/or a mickey mouse head and/or partial drum kit. Note the wild and wooly mane bursting forth from that electric blue hoodie! Nailed it, sister.

Fireworks layered on two sides of single sheet of college-ruled paper. Depth. Colour. Radiant. Ain't no indiana drought gonna keep these fireworks down.

Self-portrait by the artist. She appears to be performing a new ballet move whilst her golden curls dance in unison atop her happy green head.

Walk on, children

Half a week after returning home from a week of teaching, singing, and catching up with olde and neue friends, i feel i still haven't recovered. We're trying to figure out where to go from here. I tend to lean toward making to-do lists. That may not be a bad move, but i've got a strong sense that it's about time to be still and listen before making any major decisions. Who knows, maybe the answers will reveal themselves in the crude whimsical drawings of a soon-to-be-four-year-olde.

Most likely.

This little dude's just figuring things out...

Solid gold

The entire family just returned from a hot week at camp olivet. Check that cast and crew; they're bananas.

Thank you to everyone who made this fiftieth summer of christ-centered community an unforgettable experience.

Eight bits

Recently, we printed some vee necks, some cool dries, and some track jacks for a visionary youth ministry leader whom we now refer to as the wiz. Have a blast in panama city beach, wiz.

Surf's up, y'all. It's summertime and the Laveta is riding a wave of mutilation all night upon the Rockey's unfortunate sofa. He's spittin' his trash-talkin' tongue between summer teeth stained with cheap brandy held aloft in a toast to the host's lord of the land. He's not too daring, but a devil to be sure. Regardless, he's got some nerve burnin' your youth at both ends. Fear not and fast forward through the trash talk and soak up the summer, you dandy lion children.

Side projects

In our spare time, baby jane and i brainstorm new band names for our various musical projects we have going on the side. Her nearly-four-year-old brain is a bottomless well of potential names for all you kids out there getting started in rock and roll land.

Blame it on the rain

This summer marks the seventh year we've printed tees for southminster presbyterian's summer camp at camp olivet. This also marks the beginning of the fiftieth year of CAMP OLIVET's existence. Olivet is a place that has played a sizable role in shaping the dude before you today. So, there you go; blame it on olivet. But whatever you do, don't put the blame on you. For srsly though, it's a magical place with acres of trees and creek and prehistoric moths. I fell in love many times there. The memories are as long as the bus ride.

Perhaps some of the wetness captured in this framed photo by the incomparable ZACK BENT will rub off onto this stack of hand-printed tees, resulting in a rain-saturated week at olivet. Dreams? When the rain washes you clean, you'll know...

You'll know.

Now a peek at a little something else what's been occupying our time. Good heavens, does it ever stop? Let's not expect this one too soon. After all, y'all still need to check out the first two. GET THEM HERE and i'll probably throw in some weird drawing of a llama or something.

Save ferris

Best notify my next of kin; this wheel shall explode.
