Mythological Creatures Poster

Trying to get the idea on how to transfer typewriter style font to my poster board. If I can't think of better ideas I will try to free hand the "facts" onto my UO reproduction.






















I did the poster with Sharpie pen and acrylic paint on mat board. Well, there is whole world of Sharpie art out  there. Google for yourself.

Nikki's 1st Day of Kindergarten

First day of school, maybe I was more excited than Nikki. Nikki's slow on getting ready in the morning, so we got everything ready the night before. It's important to set up a good routine.  I surely enjoy walking her to school, what a great way to spend time with her.

Nikki's got assigned to one of the only two male teachers in her school. Kids met in cafeteria on the first day and parents had a small breakfast in the Media room. She had pizza for lunch. Classes let out by 3pm. That completed the first day of kindergarten.

The White Rabbit

Fell in love with the Framed Alice Wall Art from Urbanoutfitter, decided to recreate one myself.
Here comes my weekend project. Frame is from Goodwill $1.99. I have everything else. Picture done in pencil. 
I found the original wood engraving illustration of the white rabbit by Sir John Tenniel online from here. 


Here is the UO version (5x7) vs mine(10x12).

Home Project

I am not sure if everything we have done for the house so far can be called "home improvement projects". We have painted every room a different color, and painting is still going on....The living room was painted with right orange, purple and green colors. No two rooms are alike, which violates the basic design principle, too many varieties no unity. I did go to school for it, and I know all the colors have made the house even harder to get rid off....

One project we are so proud of is the kitchen back splash, we don't really care if anyone else likes it, we surely enjoy it very much. They look like Jelly Ranchers glued to the wall, yummy!
