I'm not an artist, but I play at being one in my basement, along with YoungerGreenKid. (PIC HEAVY)

The vest my Mom made for Dad for Halloween one year. We are going to try and draw some of those images on the wall, like the Peace Flag.

desperately want more colors than the standard rainbow though.

Kidlet is 12 now. Don't know how he got so big so fast! So it's really nice to have something we can do together. (By together I mean we print out pics and go over them, and then take off to different walls and tag them. Still together enough for me.

(I couldn't help myself with "Play All the Games!" It is a game-room or sorts, after all. )

get plain old chalk. It washes off with water. (I debated using real artist's Craypas, but oil-based stuff might be permanent.)

We've done Pokemon, video game critters, "My Little Pony" cutie marks, internet memes, and Warrior cat clan markings. When we get some more colors I want to try making some sort of "real" graffiti tags like I see on the trains at the paper mill.

You are too an artist! Hell, woman, those are wonderful pics!

I love your chalk art on the walls. They show a lot of creativity!

Keep on keepin' on!

swath of wall where he projects his 8mm movies. We need more space!

Also, I think it is time to break out the step ladder and a short stool. Still lots of real estate up high and down low.

Hi,
Groovy vest man. I love the bacon one and some of the others, fun stuff to start my day instead of reading about the debate.

Peace!

my league drawing-wise.

We do want to put up the long-neck guy. We just need to find something for him to be shocked at. Also gonna add an iPhone whale. That should be easy enough!
