Stop SOPA/PIPA

In lieu of blacking out the blog today, I've added some SOPA art.

Learn about it and act here - it's easy.

A Mario Christmas

For Christmas this year, I gave Jamers a Mario alphabet painting, given both our obsessions with everything Super Mario Brothers.
Pencil.
Inking.


Watercolor.


J-man naming all 90 characters.
Now it graces our living room.

Couldn't have done it without Super Mario Wiki and Magic Table. And of course...
Sonnyman.

Christmas Card 2011

This is the Christmas/Holiday/Etc card for this year. If you didn't get one, it's TOO LATE! Not really, just send me your address.

Happy Birthday Sonny! (and Jesus)

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY, SANTINO!
You may have seen some of these pics before, but in light of the holiday (as well as Christmas) here is a timeline (not the Facebook kind) of Sonny's life.

Christmas Day 2009
The first time I ever held him. Lots of family members, excitement, shouting. It's understandable he was scared sh*tless. Literally. He unloaded on the rest of the family as he was passed around after this picture was taken. (For a few days after the episode, we called him Shooter. But he learned to control his bowels and proved he deserved a classier name. Plus, who wants to be named after a Happy Gilmore character?)

A rare fecal-less baby pic.


Look at those giant feet, he's gonna be a big boy!

Litter box trained in a matter of days...

"No shooting on me, Shooter!"

"Straw please"

Growing up ain't easy.

Growing hair in weird places.



Sonny looks way more frightening/frightened when you can see his pupils.

The Great Outdoors. He absolutely hates them.

Studio assistant having a rough day.

"I eat your mat!"

Yawning!

He loves to poo on Jeter's face.

"Move over. I wanna Skype too...!"

Studio Assistant is not very organized.

Studio Assistant is gonna get his ass fired.



Cute Rabbit Booty.

Studio Assistant checking out the new merchandise.

Studio Assistant approves.

Cutey man.

Daddy and the baby.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays people :)

Findings

Found some gems going through old stuff...
"Who cares if I miss the trash can? It's only a bottle of beer."
"I care if you miss the trash can. Aren't you going to pick it up?" =whistle,whistle=

When I was little, I used to draw all the time. When I was little, I was also a big recycling advocate apparently.
My family, circa... late 80's (?) At a time when everyone in the fam was the same age and height.

"Just for My Best Dad!"
Dad: "Oh, no!"
Me: "It's grate [great]!"

Even though he was my best dad, he was such a wuss. Come on, Pops, it's only a giant Great White shark with blood dripping from his teeth. I mean, Grate White...Gatorland, Florida. My dad still being a sissy... I had to jump in there and take hold of the gator for him.

Magic Table

Halloween night, most folks spend dressing up, trick-or-treatin or handing out candy. Nope. Husb and I drove to Maryland to get an early Christmas prezzie - MAGIC TABLE!! Yes, a new drawing table with mucho character. Here's some pics:
It's amazingly battered, scraped and scarred - beautiful. Assuming it's from the 1930's. Smells like an oldie...
Lazy Rabbit "chinning" the Magic Table. (Chinning is bunny talk for "Now I own this")


Sonnyman has taken to Magic Table for shelter. Magic Table doesn't mind...
Also, I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Get this book. It's awesome. (I am holding out hope for the fate of the rabbit at the end of it... )
