The Wildest Rose
My little daughter has so much energy.
Jade’s my wild flower.
She’s the wildest rose.
Sending My Love via Air Mail
A fun day creating with Jade.
We cut some great old printed material and added doodle lines.
I’m always a sucker for stamps and cancellation artwork.
Lady Bug Express … Special Delivery !!!
Jade received a beautiful letter last week from a guest drawer !!!
Ziggy Short Crust is on a quest to revive the lost art of letter writing.
This is her post about Jade’s letter.

The drawings, writing and details are so beautiful!

During Christmas, we set up a pretend mail box.
Jade couldn’t believe it … A real letter for her !!!
After the letter, Jade demanded some lady bug puddle jumping!
Thank you so much Ziggy for brightening our rainy day!
Now Santa, Let’s Get This Straight …
Our family started a tradition last year of “drawing” our letter to Santa. This year, Jade asked for a “Minnie’s Bowtique” toy. Pictured is a warm winter sun, Minnie, Goofy and the brightly coloured bows. I added the text and snowflakes.
Last year, we requested a toy kitchen set. Santa really enjoyed listening to Jade with her artwork. And most importantly, Jade had a lot of fun too.

The image is a visual response to an engaging post:
The Animated GIF: The Antithesis of Mindfulness
Personally, I love rich visual imagery … It’s the way I think and communicate.
For me, the best Art has ambiguity. I like having the time and silence to appreciate and question.
But now, EVERYDAY feels like an animated gif. The average person is exposed to 3,500 advertising messages a day. We devour images, resources and ideas.
And along the way, maybe we’re debasing and dehumanizing ourselves?

Good Bye Sunshine
Looks like the long stretch of amazing weather is over.
It was great while it lasted.
Froggie Went A Courtin
Jade loves this song! Lately, I’ve been singing it lots.

My wife and a detail of our large drawing. We are the people in your neighbourhood (haha).
Yea, we like to draw … we probably drive all our neighbours crazy.
