Art should be shared

The The King has some extra time these days. He also has some pieces of canvas that were just screaming to be used. So he stretched some of the canvas on a few different HUGE frames and then starting working on an awesome new painting for our bedroom.

In which The King gets a job

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

In case you hadn’t noticed, this pretty site has been down all week.  Apparently some mean-bot keeps attacking my site and causing all sorts of problems to the company that is in charge of all my technical stuff.

I know that. I appreciate that.
And yet, I’m sick of fighting with Babboo about bedtime.
To be fair, Babboo doesn’t fight about going to [...]
