Knight

Here is another design for the Bible/Sunday School clothing line.  The knight would have been stitched on a baseball cap or a small polo shirt.

Jonah and the Whale

In my version of this story, Jonah catches the whale while fishing.  It's more fun than getting swallowed by the great fish.
This is a paper sculpture with digital clouds added post-production.

Heavenly Sunshine

Let's do a week of Vacation Bible School, art style.  Sorry, there are no snow cones or prizes for being the best-behaved.  Here is another design for the clothing line I mentioned yesterday.

I posted this one a few months back, but it bears repeating.  (Bears?  Bares?  Not sure.)  Tater was all excited about a movie his class was going to see at school.  Tater says, "I can't wait!  We're gonna see Diarrhea of a Wimpy Kid!"

This Little Light of Mine

I made some Bible/Sunday School illustrations for a group looking to launch a clothing line for children.  Here is my first one, This Little Light of Mine.  I imagined it stitched on a little toddler polo shirt.

Tater got the chance to see newborn kittens with their mother.  Tater says, "Aww...look at those little kitties.  They're drinking milk right from their mommy's pimples."

Shaman Bear

I redesigned my bear slightly smaller, but much deeper with more peaks and valleys.  This one was made with a new faux wood mixture.  Faux malachite makes up the silhouette of the Native American Shaman.  A leather strap was carefully glued around the outside of the bear.

Penguins cutout

These penguins were inked and colored on illustration board, then meticulously cut out using x-acto knives.  I must have gone through about a dozen or so x-acto blades with this one!

While riding in the car, Tater and I spotted a very large groundhog.  Tater says, "Dad!  Look at that!  It's a platypus!"

Tater says...

I'm starting a new mini feature called "Tater says."  Tater is my son, Stephen and he really comes up with some funny stuff.  And I know if I don't write some of it down, I'll soon forget some of these nuggets.  I know all our kids say funny stuff and Tater is not unique in that regard.  But, hopefully, you'll get a chuckle or two from some of these postings.

Here is a shot of Tater breakin' bad in Gotham City.
