Art, For Art's Sake

[bovinehost]

Yesterday was art project day for yours truly and the five year old clone, Jeremy.

We ran to the store and grabbed some big sheets of construction paper, some Sharpies, a box of colored pencils, stuff for sandwiches and some Peanut Butter M&Ms. Yum.

We get home, I ask what he wants to draw. For reasons I don't really understand, he's become fascinated with the Flaming Biff Bongo (again) and says he wants to do a BIG POSTER of it for his room.

So I trace the outline of the Bongo, set it up on a stand for reference and we get to work.

Voila! Four hours later, we have the artist with his decoration.

I said we'd take photos and send them to Sterling; he thought I meant we were going to send the POSTER to Sterling, so there were some brief moments of anxiety.

And the final product on its own:

His mother was so impressed.

[TSanders]

WOW. Too cool Jackie

 

[silverburst]

Geez. If I had drawn it you probably couldn't tell that it was even a musical instrument. Nice job guys!

Sounds like a pretty sweet afternoon...

 

[fidooda]

[adouglas]

Kewl.

Bridge looks like it needs an intonation adjustment....

(What is it with you guys and the no-eyebrow thing, anyway?)

 

[midopa]

WOW. Awesome! I'd kill to have a Bongo finished like that!

 

[DKWilkins]

Nice!

Incidentally, I have a 5 year old clone named Jeremy, too! They could be brothers!Here's an action shot made during his "summertime haircut".

Very Peter Maxx, Electric Company, Sesame Street, PBS Educational, Children's Book COOL.

When I visit next, can we have arts & crafts day?

PS: When does the children's book "Jeremy and the Flaming Biff Bongo" come out?

jackie that is FANTASTIC!!!!! wow tell jeremy that the aussie girl he got as a present last november is VERY impressed!!!

 

[Aussie Mark]

Great job guys! My 16 month old clone has just started with chalk, so he's got a ways to go before he'll be producing EBMM artwork of that quality. At this stage I predict Aussie Jay will disassemble a bass before he draws one. He may end up being one of those rare musicians who is allowed near a wrench.

 

[EBMM7181]

very cool, Jack

 

[sloshep]

Very cool you two. My daughter is ten and doesn't want to draw basses, just fashion outfits. Now if I were to buy her a bass that might be a different story.

 

[oddjob]

Jack that is just way too cool! You are truly blessed: 1) for the bongo 2) and more importantly, for a great kid!!!!!

 

[Kristopher]

Wow, looks awesome!

 

[oddjob]

I just noticed he didn't put your TIs on it (still just awesome)

 

[Oh! Henry]

You know full well that when your son grows up, he's not gonna ask to borrow your car, he'll ask for the flaming Biff................Then he'll ask for the car!
