photo/sketch du jour

During xmas I did a bunch of polaroid image transfers onto a variety of paper substrates, mostly aquarelle arches watercolor paper. This one I did on oatmeal paper, but the image barely took....so I sketched over it .
What is it, you ask? Why, a doll head candle jammed into the eye socket of a cow skull of course! Merry Christmas!

Warning to babies who get too close during the decorating: No one is safe!

Kitty-Whomp-ass definition
What happens when you step on a kitty and fall and get your ass whomped trying to avoid the angry ball of fur and claws.
Sometimes results in pulled muscles and banged up elbows.
Dylan came up with this definition after stepping on Mr. Pabs' tail and falling backwards at the top of the stairs-while holding Ellie. He got his ass whomped by an angry kitty.
It would have been less painful if he could have used his hands to catch him, but he had to protect the precious bundle he was holding:
