caleb's art

Caleb loves art, he can't naturally draw just anything but he works really hard at developing his talent. he spends time on line looking at art and drawings and loves creating anything! i try and buy things for him to work on, i bought him blank canvases and he loved them.

this is one of the canvases, he draws this space guy and makes the splatters by blowing on a sharpie.
this is a kid robot Munny man, they come blank and you can create anything you want from it, you draw on the sticker first as you can see on the table and then create. he did this alien guy which he seems to like?! i bought it in washington and we called matt to get him another one.
                  this is his collection of markers, i am jealous of his sharpie collection!
this is kind of hard to see but he sawed off a piece of wood and splattered it and then drew stencils of firefighters with their packs on, taped them on , did the splattering and then pulled it off and drew in the firefighters. it didn't turn out like he had hoped but it is more the process that he loves. he made a really cute board with giraffes on it for nicole's b-day.
he has many many composition books that he draws in. he created his own brand. MN* which is monster. he loves drawing monsters, aliens, dinosaurs and especially volcom designs. He also takes graphic design at school and the teacher gives him left over supplies so he  makes stickers constantly!! i am glad he has a creative outlet and hope he can develop his talent into doing something he loves!

That's great that he found something he loves. Great work! I hope Makeilah's love for art grows in to her teen and adult years. I think that's neat that you nourish this talent by getting him art supplies.

I am amazed. I wish I was so much more creative. I want him to make something for Jordan's b-day. I think he would love it. I love the astronaut painting! AWESOME!

Good for him! All talents need work... even if you're born with it. I like the one with the firefighters.
oh & p.s. those are some good family friends in the picture, not Dylan. Sorry.

caleb, you rock. i bet the giraffe art was stellar.
umm, aunty kelly that is such a funny comment to leave about my friendboy. haha, it's not the same guy, but they do look similar! Let's just say, there's this pattern I follow - really cute white guys that kind of all look the same. Even my roommates have commented on it. we're not together anymore since I'm leaving for D.C., but I had to put up those pictures. Aunty Kelly, I kiss boys!!!!
