Capt. Coloring Fantastic - Friday Fan Art!
As I mentioned before, I have been posting fan art created by yours truly while we are here in Florida to avoid the chilly winter back home in Mass.
So, each and every day, I spend some time drawing, coloring and painting with my daughter, Sophia. I do this because:
1. I love spending time with her.
2. I learned how to create art by my mum doing the very same thing with me.
3. One day (hopefully) she can take over, and Ang and I can retire.
Every morning over coffee and sippy cups, I ask Soph what she wants me to draw and we color it. Sometimes its mommy and daddy. Sometimes its Mickey Mouse. Sometimes its Meno…or even a Gzonk or two…and sometimes its Elton John. 1970′s glam-rocking-piano-pounding Elton John. Crocodile Rock Elton John to be exact.
Since she saw him on The Muppet Show, she (like her dad) fell in love with the falsetto “la-la-la-la-laas” of my fav bespectacled pop-rocker. We’ve even made him out of Legos (which I will have to take a photo of). But, here now, our tribute to the Elton John of yesterday, as rendered in Sharpie, crayon, markers, paints, and Spongebob stickers…enjoy!

So cool T.
My dad and I used to pass a sketch pad back and forth on the bed drawing monsters and crazy characters. He cracked me up so much doing that and I idolized his abilities! Watching him and imitating him durring our time together is why I enjoy drawing now. My parents saved everything I drew since I was 1 or 2 and thankfully I have it all now!
You’re giving her a great start!
Lucky kid…:)
Umm….These are AWESOME!
aww so cute! I hope Sophie becomes an artist when she grows up, she looks like she’s having lots of fun!

She did a nice job! It will be so interesting to see what kind of art she could create when shes older. After all, she is learing from an art god!!!
Man! I’d love some home made coloring sheets! lol. Seriously though, that is so cool. They look like something you’d get out of a coloring book (and I mean that in a good way). =D
