Daddy slacks, little sister helps

This bag was the very definition of "phoning it in". I was getting ready for work in the morning when I discovered: A) I had not made a bag and B) G was not conveniently having hot lunch that day. And anyone who knows me well knows I don't exactly give myself a lot of extra time in the morning.  

To make up for it (as if my 5-year old son would recognize it was whipped with hastey-flakes and sloppy sauce), I put it on a bag that younger sister had drew on a few days earlier. She was helping daddy. I even had made a point to archive what she was drawing pictures of.

My labels below are hard to read. Starting top left and working clockwise, the drawings are of: a machine, a bunny, daddy (me), a bathtub and a house. Or so I was told at the time.

Puppy power

Thank you Art Baltazar, for making character designs that are easy to whip onto a bag when you're a bag-drawing daddy who is short on time.

The magic pickle

If you aren't familiar with Scott Morse's work, then you haven't paid attention to animated extras on most Pixar movies. And you missed his charming comic "The Magic Pickle". Scott has a wonderfully fluid brush style that I envy greatly. Not to mention he's a strong storyteller with a good sense of humor. Which I guess is how he's ended up doing so much work for Pixar.

One medium-sized happy family

G mentioned he was missing us when he was at school. I hope this helped a little.
