Would you look at that use of color? A purple sun? So deep. A vertical sky? So profound.

As one of my college art profs used to say, it has "layers of sophistication." Yea!

That's Funny Rebecca, I just posted at Make it a Double about daily salvo of Jack's abstract drawings, watercolor paintings, crayon colored projects, and alphabet activity sheets most of which end up wallpapered proudly to the refrigerator with dinosaur magnets. The catch for us is that everything Jack draws looks like a penis. There are a few examples of his rare talent. Tigers, cheetahs, Spiderman, himself .... all penises. Is this just a stage of expression and development that all children go through? The artistic lens through which he sees and interprets the world? I don't know, but I do know that I'm afraid to fold his most recent drawings for fear I'll afflict the cheetah and the tiger Peyronie's Disease? Still we display them proudly on any kitchen appliance with space left. Archer's has a real Kandinski feel.

I used to have those same awesome shoe magnets, and then my darned husband threw them away.
Fridge art is awesome.

kittenpie | 12:34 PM

Ha. Our fridge is too covered in alpha magnets and puzzle magnets and preschool calendars and notes to remember lunches and oh, all sorts of crap to display any artwork there...

Also, possibly a blue Godzilla?

I just wrote a post that I thought you'd appreciate... the one about motherhood.

Anywho- Good job Archer Sagebrush!

Ah, I'm a member of that club, too. Also the "My Kid's Scribble-drawing is SO Fabulous That I Must Send It To Relatives" club. Because otherwise I'd be drowning in papers by the time he turns 2! This way, I share the love with all the grandparents and aunts & uncles.

Her Bad Mother | 3:59 PM

I've been in that club for a while. I've accumulated a LOT of paper on my fridge.

Laura McIntyre | 3:05 AM

From one member to another, enjoy if because before you know it you will need a much bigger fridge in the hope of keeping all those pics

I took my 21 month old daughters artwork and actually framed it, with like a mat and everything.. a bit crazy. But it looks wicked cute hanging in the living room!
