Still sick.. It’s going to be a Movie Marathon Weekend.
Any suggestions for good family flicks to watch?

Lately I’ve been working with some amazing artists, great designers and painters and it’s made me think a little( a LOT) more about how I do things.
I never thought I was a great artist but more of a storyteller using images to tell stories... and it’s still true.  But these days I’m thinking that I could always use some improvement with my actual art.... so I’ve been practicing a bit quicker things , using less brushstrokes, less colors, more colors, different themes that I am not comfortable with ( like this one)... not because I necessarily want to change what I do, but mainly because I strongly believe that the more I know , the better I am at comprehending what I do.
It’s like each time I try something different, go somewhere I haven’t gone before, it gives me a different vantage point on to what I do naturally and makes it clearer to me.

And... if nothing else, it’s just a lot of fun.

In the end, it’s amazing how little matters.
Some things do, but it’s usually not the ones we spend our lives worrying about.

I love Sunday nights.

I actually use to NOT love Sunday nights at ALL. It use to get me all bluesy because  the next day would be school, but I do remember being tired at the end of the weekend, especially when it would be Winter.. watching old Peanuts rerun on tv , taking hot baths or just hanging out with the family.

..and then she said that I just didn’t understand anything, and that I don’t pay attention to her.

What does that even mean?

Man, I can’t wait till I’m bigger so I can know everything about girls.

-Almost 20 seconds honey.

My daughter loves trying to stay underwater as long as possible.
I use to do the same thing

Sunny afternoons in fall,

When it's cold outside, but warm behind the window.

I'm going to be a little busy for the next few days( weeks)...so I'm probably just going to have sketches for awhile, or post older images!

Just an FYI!

#pascalcampion
-Thank you for riding back with me.
-No problem at all..I didn’t you rode!

-Oh yes, all the time....do you want to come in for a drink?

-Nah... I think I better head back now.

-Are you SURE?

-Yeah.....don’t want to bother you.
_It’s really no bother at all.
_I don’t know..I think I better get going.
_.....

The sad and funny thing about this is that it actually happened to me. It took me ten years to realize that a drink is not always a drink.

I love the feeling of freedom you get when you start doing any type of exercise after a hot day when just getting up is an effort.

-Look Pop, It’s like I can almost touch the moon
-Yup
-Someday I want to go there.
-I hope you do too

-Do you think I dream too big Pop?
-Nope
-You don’t?

-I don’t

-How come?

_I think you need big dreams. If you want something, you have to go for it, but you can’t go for it and if you don’t let yourself want it.
