Harry Potter

Not quite sure what all the black lines are in this one, but it kinda adds to the overall spooky ambience.

More Computer Art

Here's a few more examples of computer art from our oldest. They epitomize the reasons behind this blog: Digitizing our childrens' art treasures so we can keep them forever and so they don't clutter up the house. Just the hard drive.

First, the clubhouse. Note the underwear flag.

Next, a self-portrait.

And finally, "Surgury guy." We watch MASH a lot. I'm surprised the gown isn't olive drab.

We're In the Army Now

We have many, many drawings of army guys. I'm not really sure why. They have an uncle who served in the US Army, but that was before they were born. Their Opa served in the Dutch army in Indonesia in 1948, but about all he did was eat food, try to ford a river while wearing a big backpack and holding his rifle over his head (he sank like a stone and had to swim to he opposite shore) and play pranks with the other country boys on the city kids.

We do watch some army-themed TV shows, notably MASH and Hogan's Heroes. That's got to be where it comes from.

Here's another. The first is from our oldest. This is from our youngest.

I think this one's either African or Russian, given the number of decorations he's got on his uniform. And before you ask, I have no idea where the bow tie came from.

Surgury Guy

We watch a lot of MASH at home, so I'm surprised this guy isn't dressed in white or olive drab. Not sure where the bright light blue came from, but you know what, maybe he's been more observant on our few trips to the hospital than I give him the credit for. This is from the oldest, of course, another bit of computer art.

Caveman

Here's another of our oldest's computer drawings, this time of a caveman. He's drawn cavemen before, so this is a recurring theme with him. That we've visited caves and talked about cavemen probably has nothing to do with it.

The Mummy Walks

Our oldest is working on his Artist pin in Cub Scouts, and one of the requirements is to use the computer to produce some art. So here's the first installation, which he calls "The Mummy Walks." I like the red eyes. Nice touch.
