Sharing something nice that I made recently because I want to think about nice things for one second.

I drew a one page comic as a 20th anniversary gift last year, attempting to capture one of our many perfect days as a family. I am so extremely lucky.

I could not find the right frame for it. I looked. So I made one. I am very happy with how it turned out:

It is may be insane that we put this much effort into costumes every year just so James can walk around the neighborhood for a couple hours and have everyone guess wrong about who he is supposed to be. But the other option is what, not do it? No thanks.

James and I have been cooking up something hot for Halloween this year.

Your inventions are fantastic!

Thank you so much!

I woke up to a very special Father’s Day edition of Mean Dad from James!

Actually, I think a better name is The Da Vinci Kid. Sounds more like he is pulling off heists.

We are calling this costume da Vinci’s Kid. I can’t believe we got it to work, we had so many challenges and dead ends on the wing action and the gear mechanism, but James would not let me give up and just cut eyeholes in a sheet. He believed we could figure it out. I love him very much and am so glad we are still making things together.

I got a new Mean Dad comic for Father’s Day! Accurate!

I love everything about this little game James and his friend made. I still can’t get over how much more he accomplishes than I ever did at his age.

Flop around and don't run out of water while escaping Hector!

My 13 year old and his two friends made this game in the last week for the Pixel Game Jam on Itch. I could not be more amazed at how far his skills as a coder and game designer have come in the last year. I was such a slug compared to him at his age. Heck, I might be a slug compared to him now, I mean, look at that punch list!

If you have an Itch account and want to really boost a 13 year-old’s mood, please play the game and give it a rating!

Another year and James came up with another father/son costume idea based around two video game characters which the general public has no awareness of. But everyone loves a skeleton anyway. Much love to Joann Fabrics for having these oversized skulls just when I was despairing about having to start these masks from scratch!
