Spray Paint and T Shirts

In Michigan for a family reunion and wanted to make some shirts. I based the design on some turn of the century lettering from insurance maps. The couple in the canoe is a nod to the matriarch and patriarch of the clan, both of whom are 86 years old. Due to health reasons, this is this first year they are unable to join us here. 

The process was similar to the shirts we made of Grandma Lil. People brought their own shirts and we amassed a dozen cans of spray paint. Kids had fun picking their own colors and watching their shirt get made.

Royal Decreees

As you can see, the proclamation above suffered some damage at the hands of the dissenting proletariat. Fortunately this dissent did not progress to a more general uprising. Below is an addendum addressing unacceptable levels of general disorder within the kingdom.

Summer Christmas Note

Fritz wrote a note to the elves a few days ago

and they wrote back!

Harlem Views

Here's a quick sketch I did while waiting for the MetroNorth train today. 

And here's a photo of the same vantage point, just for fun. 

Selfies

Rua Alvarenga Peixoto 900, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil

  It was here that my mother was born in February seventy-one years ago. It was also my first address on this earth. This drawing is a copy of two paintings made by my dad. 

This one was completed circa 1978 in Brazil where it remained until being brought to the U. S.  in 2014,

and this one a gift to me from dad on my 35th birthday. Note the faux wood "picture frame". 

It's never to early to prep for May

Serious stuff happening at the Gowanus Print Lab today. 

More details to follow. 

The age-old question: Does size really matter?

Do you think I might be overcompensating?

I've not been idle

My current project...

Don't laugh. It's actually harder to do than it looks. 

New K-Patroler!

Is red the new orange? Never. But I think I've found a worthy seccessor. 

Here's looking at you, kid.

Here's a few faces I've seen around lately at work. 

Some are more readily recognizable than others. I have to warn you, you might start seeing them around, too.

STUNTDREAMING

Monroe, Michigan

Quick stop at the Cabela's superstore to celebrate looking tough, wearing camouflage, and bear hugs. 

Thought of days spent gathering treasures from Army Navy surplus shops and other exotic locales. 

Look what I found!

The Breakfast of Champions

Look what I found!

Question: Why is this important to Kearns Patrol?

And yes. I do have a subscription.

The Rising Generation

I was just walking up Lafeyette Street and some guy said, "Sweet hat, man!" He wore glasses similar to mine and had a bemused smile and a few fading pimples on his face. 

I smiled and replied a quick, "Thank you," and the two of us resumed our pace in opposite directions. 

Doing some rough math, I would venture that the age of my fellow TMBG fan was likely in the single digits when I got this hat. 

There is hope for the future. 

And now you're even older...And now you're older still.

Sorry, all I could get was this fat librarian... Said he needed the work.
