This time Sean drew the two of us together. I'm the tall one, in case you couldn't guess. I love the grumpy look he drew on himself - he really captured reality with that one. Heh.

Another drawing Sean did for me. He says that it is a "friendly spider". He excercised a little of his 'artistic license' with the leg count, I think. :)

Here is Sean's self-portrait. I love that the eyes are starting to get more sophisticated than just dots.

Sean drew this sometime last week. Lori and the kids brought home a Smurf video from the library, and Sean really likes Gargamel. You can see that he even got the hair right, and he drew his body as a long rectangle because he wears that robe. And I think the arch shape around the top is supposed to be the stones that make up the arched entrance to Gargamel's tower/castle thing.

Sean drew this for me randomly the other day. He says it's an alien in a spaceship - and he didn't even need to tell me what it was, I could tell. I wish he would draw more. He really seems to have some talent there. I can't wait to see his artwork when he's older, if he decides to pursue it.

The Make Magazine blog had an article recently about making up fake albums in a fun way. The gist of it is this (quoted straight from their site):

1. Go to Wikipedia and hit “random” and the first article you get is the name of your band.

2. Go to “Random Quotations”. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page will be the title of your new album.

3. Go to Flickr and click on “Explore the Last Seven Days”. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

Here's the one that I came up with when I tried it: The new album from Innocent Venus, titled "Sane Beyond a Reasonable Doubt". Eerily believable, isn't it?

Check out Sean's latest drawing. It's an evolution of the guy he used to draw a few months ago. But now he's got a lot more detail in his face, and he's gone from 4 simple limbs to legs complete with shoes and arms with hands. Amazing!

More drawings from Sean. Check these out! A truck, and a caterpillar. The truck I know he learned from a guy who draws on T.V. But I have no idea where he learned to draw that caterpillar. I love when he surprises me like this, by drawing something that we didn't even know he knew how to draw. I can't wait to see what's next!

Here is the latest of Sean's drawings - a submarine. He drew it for the first time yesterday, while we were at the hospital to visit Tracy, Mike, and Baby Olivia. It's funny - when he draws it, he also makes a point of saying that he is drawing "a submarine, with no face". I'm not sure what kind of submarines have faces, but I'm glad he's so specific.

Here's another of Sean's drawings. He's trying to learn how to draw his tape recorder. I've included a photo of the recorder itself so you can see just how close he is. It blows my mind. His pediatrician said that at his age, kids are usually learning how to draw a circle and a line. Good for you, Seanyman!
