Doodles Inspired By The Movie “Dumbo”
Over a year ago, I saw a documentary on John Lasseter.
He’s the creative genius behind Pixar.
There was a great part where he talked about Dumbo … his favourite movie.
He loved the cartoonish feel of the old film.
And back then, Disney wasn’t scared of heavy emotion.
Walt Disney used to say, “There should be a laugh for every tear.”
Around a year ago, we rented the movie and Jade absolutely loved it.
She was 2 and a half and loved the all characters.
For the next week, I drew Dumbo inspired imagery for Jade (shown below).
Jade was even motivated to try … below is her drawing of Dumbo.
Sleeping Lines Doodling To Dreamland
This is an old image Jade and I created together.
Sometimes, we like to make random marks and see what happens.
The lines are drifting off to sleep … going to dreamland.
NHL Is Back … “Bear-Mauled” with Mixed Feelings
I love hockey.
I grew up playing the sport.
I still play every week. I used to play 3 to 5 times a week.
I play because I love the game.
Frankly, I’m kind of sick of the NHL.
I’m tired of the owners and their lockouts.
I’m not really keen on most of the NHL star players either.
Personally, I think most of them are “out-of-touch” and overpaid.
After the 2011 Stanley Cup Riot though, I’m even fed up with certain “fans” too.
I’ll spend my money on my equipment, expensive sticks and ice time.
But, I’m not going to watch many NHL games at the arena or on TV …
Well … maybe not until the playoffs.
Creating Nonsense Stories
“What should we draw today?”
Often, Jade and I brainstorm funny or weird scenarios before we doodle.
~
“Wouldn’t it be funny if …”
We created mom as a “cat-bicycle” chasing a mouse.
The mouse really wants some cheese.
~
“Make the drawings come to life.”
After we doodle, sometimes Jade likes to act them out.
She’s loves adding drama to life (haha).
~
“You be Momma and I’ll be the mouse … the stuffy will be the cheese.”
Thank you Jade for your wonderful smiles and imagination.
We make beautiful nonsense together ;P
Singing Happy Songs
A fun, happy drawing from my 3 year old daughter Jade.
We sing, play, and dance whenever we can.
Her happiness is truly contagious!
I just love her!
Waiting For Her
It’s always exciting when my wife and daughter come home!
Mr. Cloudy and Vancouver
It’s’s been very wet and rainy here in Vancouver lately.
Looks like Mr. Cloudy has lots of his friends in our sky.
Hopefully, little Little Miss Sunshine will be back soon.
Everyone’s a little cheerier when she’s around.
You and Who’s Army ;P
Me and my 8-arm friends are indestructible … We’re not scared of nothing!
My wife drew these fun doodles with Jade.
Sledding Full Speed Ahead !!!
Jade’s starting to love winter activities.
She’s especially loving her sled lately !!!
The Excitement of Christmas Morning
Jade was feeling so happy Christmas morning!!!
Our festive home was decorated with our drawings and paintings.
Unfortunately, I was feeling the chills from on oncoming flu (blah).
But most importantly, Jade opened her presents !!!
Thank you Jade for making our Christmas so special.
Love,
Mom and Dad :)
