My son, Jacob, turned three last month. I’ve been meaning to paint a new portrait of him to kick off year three of his life. A month later –no sign of progress on my part. It’s not lack of inspiration, nor time, its simply because a lot of little things. First there was the hair. I totally didn’t want to paint the mohawk! As much as I love it, I’m aiming for something more propper. After he got a decent hair style… he got sick. BUMMER! Once again, we got over that, now I’m just waiting to get him dressedup and take a nice photo somewhere. Odds are I’ll be done within a week. Finally. I can’t wait.

It seems like as soon as Jake turned two the words just began to flow, I’ve been trying to get him to learn the alphabet with some success -yes, some. Besides the always popular, urm, always important ABC’s I’ve taken a swing at tryin’ to get him to say harder words. I’ll upload a vid at some point. Maybe one of him painting [all over the walls ... nuff said]

PS. I’m working on new stuff. Come back some other time y’all.

My little termite, Jacob is turning two! I can’t believe it 4 more days, and he will be two. It feels like he was just a little baby not long ago, gosh does time fly by

I guess the nice part is… I have another excuse to paint another portrait of him! I’ve been getting used to being back in school again [attending South Texas College] and along the way I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what I want to do with my next project.

My slogan is “Custom and Creative” lets see how well I can live up to it this time around. Stay tuned.

My Son, Jacob, has simply simply fallen in love with The Backyardigans. Pablo, Tyrone, Tasha, Austin and Uniqua, he loves them like nothing else he’s watched.
The Backyardigans are perfect for small kids. Jakes nearly two, and he really gets a kick out of them. If you have a kid between 1 and 5… maybe 6. Check it out… or If you have a thing for cute animated animals singing some damn good kiddie songs. Heck I know I get entertained! Rent or buy a DVD

PS…. Yes, he’s having a Backyardigans themed birthday party
