I deal with the subject matter of characters associated with our childhood; as we grow, memories of them help us to build our own character.

I'm doing a new body of work and I need some photos to use.  I was hoping that if anyone is interested in sending me some pictures, of when they were a child and got their photos taken with a fictional character to use... for example Ronald Mc Donald or The Easter Bunny ...  I would be very thankful...

I hope everyone is doing well...

above is Mr. Mc Donald, Me, Mom

Thanks one and all for your kind votes...

Unfortunately  we came home empty handed .... but thanks for caring... I hope to see everyone really soon.

so I'm in my 4th week of  summer camp and we are making ... we are always looking forward to fridays... aka... pool day... when the lifeguards are watching the kids and not us... and we can dunk them....

anyway things are going well for me and tim ... I mean we have already had some ups and downs but we are doing great now...

our dog, brandon is a water dog now... we are the proud owners of brandon also aka otterdog... we went to the park the other day and he was fetching the stick that I trew into the pond... and that something he hasn't ever done...

I think since we took him swimming and conoeing with us he got used to the water and realized he wasn't going to die....

yeah for us... other than that... umm whats new... oh ... I am going to make some new piece of art for a show at the FED Ex building here ... so I'm excited... they called and said that they saw my work at the Brooks so I'm very excited...

I hope everyone is doing well...
