Started work on some Halloween stuff. My measurements were a bit off but it worked as a proof of concept. My wife decided she wanted to go as Coraline for Halloween. I think it was just an excuse to get that nice yellow raincoat she has been talking about for the last two months.     She went back and forth on wether or not she was going as Hermione or Coraline so she originally bought a cheap Griffindor costume that came with some glasses. I cut out some buttons and got crazy with the hot glue. I’m just wondering, does everyone have a hot glue gun handy or is that just me?     The buttons turned out pretty sweet. I was really happy with how they turned out. The only problem was…     They were way too big. But they were very sturdy, even with just a little hot glue. So I have to resize them and take another run at it tomorrow. All is not...

  Nashville Hot Chicken drives me crazy. I want to go to Nashville for the sole purpose to feast on their chicken. At this point, the only thing I am sure of is that it includes chicken, pickles and some kind of spicy sauce. I have read that it is an oily sauce that is somewhat like but definitely not buffalo wing sauce. I have tried it at 5 or 6 different restaurants and every time it is different and never like what I have read. I’ve tried it at high end restaurants and chains, only to be given what is essentially a buffalo chicken sandwich…until now. There is a new place that opened called The Hot House Tavern. My nephew agreed to watch the kids so my wife and I had a date night. Any date night is generally a good night but this one turned out really great. The place was trendy, awash with 20-somethings clad in skinny jeans and floppy beanies, luckily, we dined on...

  Because I like to make other parents question whether or not it is a good idea to let their kids spend the night at our house, I just had to do this drawing. I don’t know where I thought of the idea of a jar of teeth but here we are.     Honestly, I didn’t even know how I was going to pull it off. It was just some idea that was floating around in my head so I thought I’d give it a shot. I hate drawing glass with pen and ink and a pile of teeth isn’t something you see everyday so I wasn’t real sure how this was going to turn out. From the reaction I got on Facebook, I’d say it translated just fine. Oh, maybe I’ll make up little “Thank you” cards from the Tooth Fairy.

  I’m not sure if this tracks or not.     It is supposed to be lace, because, what is fancier than lace? Like I said, I’m not sure if this one works or not but all-in-all I’m happy with how it turned out. It is a little abstract. I was trying to work with the negative space a little too.
