Personalized Gifts

Send me a couple of photos, and I'll make one of these for you! With these "lenticular" pieces, you can give lovely personal gifts commemorating the passage of years, life milestones, sports fandom...just about anything: one of my favorite sales was "Stuck in the Middle with You," which showed clowns to the left of you, and jokers to the right. Below are lenticular pieces showing me at 4 and at 62; Louisville Cardinals and Kentucky Wildcats; my children small and then the whole family years later; and our dog as a puppy and a grown-up. Prices and framing are negotiable.

Designs: Theatre and Otherwise

"The Adventure's of Breakfast Boy!" was to be a comic book drawn and written by my nephew and me. This is when he was about 7 or 8 years old. "Breakfast Boy" was the hero. I was to invent the villains. Here are "The Awful Waffle," "Snakk Pakk," and "The Lunch Lady," who is supposed to be riding a flying lunch tray.

These are sketches of one of several projects I did for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. It was a game designed to get kids moving instead of sitting. The idea was to get them moving in various ways to various shapes, colors, and choices of food, drink, or exercise. A "game host" on a video would challenge the kids, "HOP on one leg to something blue ! Now take baby steps to an oval ! Now walk on your knees to a fruit ! If you are kneeling on the grapes, YOU WIN--but let's play AGAIN!"

My favorite part of this project was coming up with the scripts for "Coach Potato." He was a giant potato dressed in a sweat-suit, with a speaker in the side, and was motion activated. When you sat next to him he'd say things like "Here we go! Aaaaannnd SIT-two-three-four! And SIT-two-thee-four! And SIT two-three-four! Excellent sitting! You'll be a couch potato like me in NO TIME!"
