Paintings of the boys

I dragged out my oil paints recently and painted a picture of my nephew and my son. They are mostly from photographs since there is no way the babies would sit still for more than a second. I painted them with the exact same color palette and on similar pieces of wood. I was pretty happy with how they turned out, and thought it was interesting how different they look.

Comics

My kids are so absurd sometimes. I have been wanting a project to get me to draw more, so I thought recording what they do in comic form might be fun - hence the recent picture of my daughter with her cat toy. I was trying to come up with some new ideas when my mom sent me the link to the Far Side's website (love it btw!). It made me realize I don't have to be quite so literal and tied to what actually or could actually happen. I came up with some ideas and now I am hooked. The little drawings make me chuckle and because I have tons of other ideas, I don't spend too much time on the drawing, which has always been hard for me not to do. A few of the comics are here, and the rest can be found at sleeplessmommy.net.
