Lil Woodworkers

Hi Pals!

I am always in favor of programs and outlets that give kids a chance to put their imagination and creativity to good use.  So when my buddy Michael told me about Lil Woodworkers, a woodworking shop offering classes for kids and teens, I thought "That sounds awesome! ...and potentially dangerous" :)

Lil Woodworkers is the brainchild of Michael's 'work wife' (their words), Tommy. The shop was opening soon and Lil Woodworkers needed a logo! Since I am inclined to support such endeavors, I took on the job of drawing up Tommy's three kids into a cartoon logo for him.

It was a fun task, and I really like the way it turned out! Have a look...



You should also check out the Lil Woodworkers face book page. And if you happen to live in the San Antonio area, and have kiddos, sign them up for a class! I'm sure it'll be fun! (and P.S.- I do believe there are adult classes available as well)



 

 

Allyson Finds: Old Caricatures

A commercial for some community college on the radio once told me, "Smart people finish what they start,".  Well, here I am, attempting to finish what I started. I fell off the posting wagon, but I'm climbing back on again.

I was rooting around in some folders and notebooks tonight, looking for bits and pieces of several short stories that I have been working on for... oh, the last five years or so... and I came across all sorts of old jewels. I thought it might be fun to post some sketches and stuff I found up here on the blog.  I'll start with this little bunch of caricatures and cartoons of friends and random people that I found in a sketchbook... (BTW, the chick farting the clouds into the sky is Sophie, of  The Tadaaa Blog)
