Threadless t-shirt design

I submitted a design to threadless.com, a t-shirt making website. If you have/sign up for a threadless account you can now vote for how awesome it is :-) It's the old Apocalypse Cow art from the Cow card game. Vote high, vote often and I might get money and prizes!

Stolen photos

I love taking sneaky photos with the bride and groom at weddings. Well, at weddings I've been invited to anyway. I got a great photo with Erik and Giffy at their wedding by running up between family photos and ambushing them. This year we took Dominic to Morgue and Cal's civil union and he was being a little noisy. Squealy in fact. High pitched squealing in an echoing room



In the process of taking Dom out of the main room into side areas to spare people the noise, I happened to come across Cal - and got a quick photo with the beautiful bride while she was still un-unioned :-)





Not long after that (having tried to catch some of the ceremony then exiting via a different door) Debbie, Dom and I found Morgue!



We went outside after that and took some photos, managing to sneak back in for the end of the ceremony.

Otaihanga Reserve/Waikanae River Walk

Today Debbie, Dominic and I took a walk along the Waikanae river, starting in the beautiful Otaihanga Reserve, crossing a bridge and walking inland along the edge of El Rancho (an activity/camp site). It was a stunning walk and we took many photos. Next time we invite people up this way we're planning to have a picnic in the reserve :-)



Ducks!


Peekaboo! There are quite a few areas that would be cool for an outdoors larp.


I love the smell of Nature in the morning.


Look Dominic - water!


Smile and look casual!



Debbie and Dom make their way back across the Waikanae river.

Collage

Matt, he draws on whiteboards.

Brought the school camera home after putting up posters so I could upload photos of the much more decorated classroom, and found a few snaps of stuff I'd drawn on my whiteboard last year. I will try to take more pictures of what I end up drawing over the coming months...



Some closeups:




I drew the sagging boobs hag first, then had to ask the class how they would draw a hag. Big nose and wart seemed so obvious once they were pointed out to me...

Posterised!

Over the past few days my classroom has become much more colourful thanks to about $18 worth of movie posters from video stores and a bunch of cool star wars character miniposters from an old Empire magazine! (and lots of hard work by Debbie and my visiting family)

Family Visiting Fun

Busy last few days with Debbie's mum visiting, then my parents and brother staying for two nights. It was lovely. We:

- played with Dom's toys (including new xmas pressies)
- went and fed the ducks in the park
- went shopping
- had yummy pork roast
- had yummy bbq
- went to cafe (Dom was very well behaved once he had nummy morrocan chicken to chew on)
- went to Southward Car Museum, and really, really enjoyed it
- decorated my classroom with 12 new posters
- watched a lot of Top Gear
- swapped much TV (although a couple things seem to have failed to copy)
- put hats on Dominic and remarked on his cuteness
- went splashing about in the ocean

More photos coming soon.
