hitched

May 16, 2016

so we got married. it was coming up on our 5 year anniversary and my lady got me drunk and said 'hey wanna get married' and i said 'yeah ok'. romance! we had 2 friends as our witnesses and another friend as our officiant and another friend to help with pics and that was it! we told no one else that we were going to get married. and so on our 5th anniversary, a day with the temperature hanging around 14 degrees, we got hitched in front of the capitol building. it was pretty great. since i had already blown the gift of the animal drawings book i had done for her for our anniversary 2 years prior (see the ahh l'emur page for that) i needed something new for a present this time. i decided to do a 1 page comic of our story with no dialogue and super simple and cute characters in it. the whole project came to me pretty quickly and i had the print by the time we were married (more or less). we framed it and hung it in our house and people seem to think its pretty darn cute. i then used the basic characters from that to make the invites for our wedding party we would later have. i must say it is pretty darn cute indeed.

Sat down to draw a gorilla to jump start the brain juices the other day. Always one of my favorite things to draw and this one felt extra good given my lack of artistic output lately.

Everyday we ask the kid what he wants to do and for like 2 weeks now it’s ALWAYS “daddy, you me watch sheepies allllll day!” Luckily the boy has good tastes and fell hard for an Aardman show. I grew up obsessed with Grand Day Out and all the other W&G stuff so it’s been fun to get to enjoy their animation again through Shaun the Sheep, even if it is “alllll dayyyyy!” 😊 #shaunthesheep #aardman #aardmananimations #claymation #illustration #digitaldrawing #fanart #kidstv #bitzer #stayathomedad

Family art project today! To be honest I haven’t been feeling particularly artsy myself lately but I always enjoy art with the kid. We recently got dude some paints and brushes so today I masked out a little design on a canvas I had sitting around. We all painted together and after it dried we peeled all the tape off to reveal our art! We then used the painted tape to collage on the heart template I used for the painting! We’ll hang these in our windows tomorrow for everyone going by. #artproject #kidartproject #maskingtape #fingerpaint #crayola #familyartproject #heart #love #painting #stayathomedad #illustration #kidart

Our lockdown just got a whole lot snugglier. Meet Louie the newest addition to our family. He was an early birthday gift from my wife and kid and got here at the perfect time. We adopted him from the wonderful @underdogpets rescue and he is just great. He’s super outgoing and playful but can’t refuse some snuggling. #catsofinstagram #kitten #cute #sofluffy #kittysnuggles #cats #petsofinstagram #petrescue #underdogpetrescue
